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.

Just Google "Taylor Swift age" like the rest of us creeps.

I hardly know who that is, which feels great to be honest.

I'm tired of celebs.

Pretending you're blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.

I'm not pretending, I'm just old. :) Not interested in any of that. You probably realize that there is an age when you just stop caring about all that shit. If not, you will see for yourself later in life.
