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.

Of course, but cracks are starting to show. My point was that this is an absurdly long time for something like reddit to be around at all, so the remindmebot comments that were set for years out weren't as out there as the guy above me seemed to think. Hell, reddit share holders seem to be upset with what's going on, so there are decent odds they'll revert the changes and we'll be back there in a year.

Not that I don't believe this, seems plausible to me⎯but would you happen to have a source for that.

so there are decent odds they’ll revert the changes and we’ll be back there in a year.

Hate to say this but I'm still clinging on to Reddit for some of the niche subs, but hopefully they'll spring up here.
