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.

One of the previous owners of my house died in the living room about 5 feet from where I'm sitting right now.

Doesn’t the smell bother you?

Only for the first few months.

Cashing their pension cheques makes up for it.

Dang. But how is it possible to die in the room that's designated for living? 🤔

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla 9 points 1 year ago

Talent. And the heart attack probably helped a little.

They were contrarians, I guess.

Maybe the trick is never entering the living room in the first place. What is dead may never die.

And with strange aeons even death may die.

Living room is by the front door so setting up the hospice bed in the large room with the easiest access to the exit makes sense.

Hospice? Exit door? Not necessary in the Eternal Life™️ schematic.
