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.

Nah that'd scare all the locals away and then some teenagers and their dog would come and get you arrested, possibly harming you (with a makeshift device and/or accidental high-speed tackle*) in the process.
*=Most likely involving multiple people trapped inside a giant water jug and being propelled by a minecart, so you'll probably break a rib or two when they smash you into a wall and then get a concussion when a shelf breaks over your head, leaving you with amnesia but still responsible for the fines (+medical bills) and prison sentence because of a silly scheme and mild fraud/insider-trading that you obviously have no recollection of.
way too specific... is this the plot to a book? if so what's it called?
Teenagers and a dog sound like Scooby Doo. No idea how specific the rest is.
Happens every time. yep.
If I was an investor I would invest before bringing the UFOs
I would invest after the UFOs
With enough of them, property values will go down as people move away
Once it's identified as a hoax, the value will correct itself over time
Don't give Elon any ideas
[spoilers] "Fall, Or Dodge In Hell" by Neil Stephenson. Billionaire fakes a nuclear attack on Moab, Utah for shits and giggles. Decades later, many Americans refuse to believe that the town still exists.
Jenkies.
I guess although it wouldn't really work
