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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Apples should be like astronauts...they are grouped in the bushel based on performance (quality, not being rotten).
If detection slips, or one is massively damaged during handling or a pest sneaks in, the group is fouled. It should not be a normal distribution but a heavily filtered one.
"One bad apple spoils the bunch" because if one rots, it emits a waste gas that accelerates spoiling of nearby apples
