Showerthoughts

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.

MODERATORS
 

Mods, please don't let this community turn into a lemmy support channel. There's probably 20 others.

This community needs new mods. The current one hasn't posted in 9 days.

Actually they're still active - if you view from lemmy.world they last posted 3 hours ago, but if you view from your instance their last post was 9 days ago

Who assigns moderators? I have no idea

The individual who created the community.

Ah, I see the problem then :/

A support channel? Not sure I understand.

@forkball just got added as a mod.

The posts in this community have certainly been a bit different from r/showerthoughts. I'm reluctant to be strict about curating the content but happy accept feedback on how you would like things enforced.

Only three posts have been reported as being off topic, this post being one of them.
