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.

There is/was a show about Russian spies living in America as Americans though. I watched a few episodes when it came out but it wasn't my kinda thing.

ZING!

....guys, remember zing? We used to say zing in the 90s! Remember that? Guys? GUYS!!!

..........^^^^^guys?

Edit: Welp....guess I can't make small text on Lemmy like I could on reddit. The context here is like you're hearing me as you're walking away from a dork saying dork things.

It was called The Americans and had an amazing 80s soundtrack to go with it. That show was awesome.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

The Americans was partially based on real life. We literally traded Russian sleeper agents back in 2010.

The Americans is one of the best shows ever made.
