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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Uhm.. But University work require you work for almost 20 hours per day tho?
As a grad student mostly. That said, non-tenured professors also have to work their asses off. The ~~pyramid scheme~~ dream is becoming tenured and having a large pool of grad students ~~to abuse~~ help you with your work.
I'm not sure how you feel about the limiting thing, but it is controversial in the US. Some departments do limit, others feel that isn't fair. Personally, I think we should understand why the academia system is set up the way it is and ask if it makes sense in the modern world.
Professor in 3rd world country. 😂
Welp. At least here, any gradschool tuition is possible to make living, unlike in North America or Europe. 😂
Thanks for sharing, seems Canadian standard is defer than US Standard. Thanks for clarification.
