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.

Anyone using Ubuntu is one person less using windows. I call that a win. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Ubuntu was my training wheels 15 years ago
i still use it, from all these years.
thinking of hopping soon tho
Windows is so dominant in the market that not using it is still named after them.
I started on Debian potato and used pretty much every distribution at sone point, often three at a time. I've used Ubuntu for the last five years because it's easy, stable and upto date. I know people get very minmax about their choice of os and I love that but yeah we need to remember when we say it's 'fine' or 'good enough' that yeah it's not race tuned or weaponised or whatever special builds people are making but ita still much much better than windows.
