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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Hannah Montana was a Disney show where a girl was a popstar under a different name and wig so she could be a normal person when she wasn't performing. VTubers, like Ironmouse that op referenced, are streamers that essentially play characters rather than stream as themselves in order to preserve their anonymity. They have cameras that track their movement, but rather than just stream the feed of the camera, they map that movement onto an avatar, usually a 3d anime girl.
We also have hand youtubers! Or animators abimate their avatars.
A few like legit musicians also hide their face while performing to make it hard to be recognized, but don't go full Hannah Montana and their real names are known.
Last part: Ado does it.
Live performance on stage but the lighting is set up so the face isnt revealed.

And she absolutely kills it.
Slow Magic does it a lot. He wears LED masks and keeps his identity secret
Thank you, I was super confused.
Why are they always very young girls?
Because people are fucked up in the head.
You really have to ask?
