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

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.

Hopping and running are the same thing. Except alternating feet. (self.showerthoughts)

Cats and dogs are the same thing, except that dogs are dogs.

Alternating feet requires that each leg's muscle groups work in complete opposite to each other. Your brain has to process doing two different things at the same time.

Hopping is probably closer to whatever the first fish to flop up on land and breath air did.

I am annoyed that I can't think of an argument for this. I don't want to believe it

Whereas many languages make functions first class citizens, via the use of this javascript turns execution contexts into first class citizens as well.

You can build up an object of key value pairs and then proceed as if those were named variables in the code.

Obviously it has its pros and cons, but it’s a powerful tool.
