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.

I'm no expert on serial killers, but most documentaries and films I've seen on the matter seem to imply that stalking their victims is like, kind of the whole point. 🤷‍♂️

Chill out in the stalking lot? That’s like those hunters that sit up in the tree, spray the base with pheromones and wait. What would the “stalker” use as lure?

What would the “stalker” use as lure?

A brand new car or a car that has new paint. Just wait and someone will come and park next to you.

But then how will the producers work in the stalking music? 🎵🎶 That's the best part!?

I think you misunderstand them. It's not just random killing that motivates them.

There are cameras everywhere.
