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.

You have a good memory.
I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago... Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.

Your so write about there basic grammer beeing so terrorible. It was so incredibly alloying.
This gave me a headache.
Your weary welkome
I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”
Its nice when somebody gets it right.
*get's
I read you're comment and it's usage of its isnt correct 😳
(this killed me to write haha)
And its a great feeling!
Its awesome isnt it?
its it's own reward
It's sure is! /s
Agree, its refreshing to see people bring there best grammar skills.
Not every lemming is a native speaker.
I don't get it, its not that hard, each word has it's proper grammar and usage.
For real, its not that hard to get it right.
Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.
Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That's a good thing.
I barely know what website I am on either
or there and their
Your soo rong frendo
