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.

I won't diss other car brands, but Toyota is the the only brand I'll spend money on...after a bajillion years of them being at the top of the dependability list, why would you choose anything else?
I have about eleven cars registered in my name right now. Have probably owned about thirty. My Corolla doesn't even rank in my top ten favorite I've ever owned but God damn I'd never recommend anything but a Toyota to anyone. I think everyone who says Toyota is overrated either A) have never serviced a car in the first place or B) have never serviced a Toyota.
Whilst they have been fantastic in years past, I'm worried about their future. Short version is, they use a lot of plastic now. source, I've been a mechanic for 19 years and currently work at a Toyota specialty shop. But still they're probably going to be better than most others. Honda was good too though. I'm not sure about now, but my daily is a 97 accord with 265k miles. Amazing car.
