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.

sure as long as your accurate. There were things suggesting one or two servings per day was actually healthy but if your using it to justify more then it immediately falls apart. Also you can justify the pleasurable effects but if it ever interferes with anything at all then that is out the window.

I used to drink enough to think that. Lost quite a bit of weight when I switched to weed.

I watched this movie last night, and it rings clearly with this topic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Round

Na, fuck alcohol, it's as deadly as rat poison, a little won't kill you but no amount is good for you and the only reason you are defending it is because you think it has some good traits and it doesn't. Maybe it's a good thing it's hard to defend since it is literally poison. Try Pot or Lsd both are less harmful than Alcohol and are more fun

That's because the amount of alcohol you need to survive is 0, sugar on the other hand is both, needed and "bad".
