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.

Only if we continue the trend with sans-serif fonts.

As someone who struggles with dyslexia, I'd love for serif to be the norm again.

I don't have anything like that (to my knowledge) but I've still just never understood how it became acceptable to have multiple letters look the same or very similar.

My money's on lack of foresight and stubborn resistance to change.

That's interesting to hear, my work developed what's supposed to be a very accessible font that is sans serif and I was curious if this actually helped dyslexic people. My one dyslexic friend actually said it is better for them, but people are all different.
