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.

Human babies need a buff, they're functionally useless for far too long.

Capitalism now wants to extract value from babies??

I'm not talking about exploiting them (and even if we could the value would be infinitesimally small). From a gameplay perspective it's just boring. Everything is out of your control. Even if you get a shit start you can't reroll, you have to deal with it for literally YEARS.

Not to mention the sound they make is so aggravating that older male players want to kill them to be quiet. It's a good thing one of the beta updates made babies heads produce a chemical which dulls aggression in males and heightens protective traits in females.
