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

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

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.

I like calling communities "slice" better, because even without the context, the people can guess what it may be. The context is a range of sources quoting:

A group of lemmings is known as a ‘slice' of lemmings.

It would also go with the idea to call us "Lemons", kind of like "slices" of lemon pie!
