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.

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

See? Now I get called a fascist just because I'm scared of how commonly that buzzword is used

You really worked for it though. You can also just behave like a regular human.

Whatever, you just made huge assumptions about me

Like what? That you’re a regular human? I apologize!!

I did no such thing. But it really doesn’t matter if you like it. The way you engage with the concept is icky enough.

Why is "I don't like authoritarianism" so hard to understand? With a number of exceptions I can count with one hand, I'd support social democracy if it has a decent welfare and economic freedoms. However, it's a priority to stomp down on monopolies, as they're nothing more than an obstacle to fair economic competition

You are not reacting to anything your interlocutors type.

If you are a bot: use a larger language model and/or context size.

If you are a human: kindly go stink up some other place.

You hate different opinions? What a nice way of creating echo chambers

Please point out where I called you a fascist, or stop pretending you’re being persecuted.
