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 and the TOS

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.

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

sub should be lowercase. Even at the start of a sentence.

I'm not sure we even need that terminology at this point... I knew it from hard drives but I'm either 1) dealing with way more than two drives, or 2) using Linux which I don't even think of as a master/slave so much as a fuck-you-mount-me-or-not-I-don't-care partitions.

I'm not really sure where else it's used, especially since everything else seems to just be primary/secondary. But I'm no CS major so IDK.

I'll keep using master/slave. Political correctness bullshit be damned.
