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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

When life gives you gators, don't make gatorade - make life take the gators back! Get mad! I don't want your damn gators, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson gators. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the gators. I'm going to get my engineers to invent a combustible gator that burns your house down!

If the gators in question are the Florida Gators American football team, then yes.

You can just name it Gatorade and you kinda made Gatorade when life gave you a gator.
