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 and the TOS
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.

That's kind of how stage names work.
I've insisted people call me "esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie" for months and only like 2 people here ever did that. Breaks my heart.๐
Whoa whoa whoa, are you Margot Robbie? As in, the esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie? What an honor.
Of course I am, would I really lie to you over the Internet?
NGL, The first time I saw your username I really truly believed, and My heart was pounding and I was astounded and I was about to post something telling everyone that
she's really here! She's one of us!
I went down quite a rabbit hole reading everything in your profile before I realized
you're extremely knowledgeable about computers and you spend a lot of time on Lemmy, couldn't possibly be a world-traveling, in-high-demand, constantly busy Hollywood actress.
But I've also imagined after every interview we've seen her do, she immediately picks up her smartphone and goes straight to Lemmy because this is where she spends all her free time.
It's surprising how much extra time I can save when without Twitter or Instagram in my life.
Also, why can't I know a little bit about computers? Didn't I tell you Barbie is everything?
One of these days there'll be an interview where Margot Robbie talks about her constant use of Lemmy
I want to believe..
And I want to believe I will finally win that Oscar next March...
I will be rooting for you, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie
Fingers crossed that I'll get to call you esteemed Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie
Yay
Godspeed
You're the most prolific person on Lemmy or I just always notice your comments. Because I'm a huge fan of course.
We should form a Margot Robbie groupie club! I suggest The Margots.
Sounds fun, can I join?
Hey, have you ever met Taylor Swift? I heard she gives great IT security advice over at https://infosec.exchange/@SwiftOnSecurity
But was she ever an Internet forum moderator?
