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 and the TOS
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.

Well la-dee-dah! Look at Mr. "I think humans will still exist in 1000 years" over here. Let's be real, we're on track to extinct ourselves in the next 200 years if we don't make some very difficult and dramatic changes to our behavior.
200 years? lmao, look everyone, this guy thinks our planet will support human life for another 200 years. At best another 80.
I mean, not to be captain optimist here, but human extinction is a bit far. Humans are extremely adaptable, even if they have to carve out a niche in the worst case hellscape they will survive.
Might not exactly be comfortable.
You speak the tru tru
The oil runs out in another 30 or 40; things are going to fall apart pretty quickly after that, when we won't be able to get enough food in to maintain cities.
If we're stupid to the point of fault. Even market pressure would force diversification of clean energy
I know, I'm being generous with that 200.
