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.

The thing many people don't even need their fridge to be smart in the first place
Who are you to dictate who needs what? I definitely "need" a smart fridge from my example because I always forget to make a list before I go to the grocery store. It would save me so much time and money.
You honestly sound like the old fucks of ancient times past who always bitched about new "tech":
Nothing is stopping you from running away into the mountains to life a tech free life
I do, and that's what concerns me. Because I'm only in my 20s. I could disconnect for a while, but I'm always going to have to return to society, whose constant changing caused this fatigue, eventually.
