Showerthoughts

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

This is more of a NoStupidQuestions post than a shower thought.

I agree but I am also genuinely impressed how many serious answers are here. When I read the post I was sure it was just a troll, but troll or not, there are so many people here to give good and based advice. It's just great. We should keep it!

It’s a bit of a shock to see so many serious/informative comments near the top isn’t it? But it doesn’t detract at all from my overall enjoyment of the site. They’res still funny comments, just not always at the top. It would be wonderful if lemmy grew large enough to have active communities to match the majority of subreddits, but not too large that it becomes hateful and hive-minded.
