A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Confusing right from left is easier than confusing up from down. (self.showerthoughts)

Also, in a mirror right and left are always swapped, but never up and down. Not even if you tilt your head or cover one eye

In a mirror, front from back are swapped, not right and left. If someone goes from standing next to you, then goes to standing in front of you facing you, then their right and left changed.
