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.

Seriously, that comment got, like, an updoot every two minutes so far. Crazy.
I hr and 7upvotes in and Im here to give you another handjobby...good work
Jojo you have the best takes, everybody knows that
My parents and a number of other people in my IRL life would like you to know that they strongly disagree.
Well, tell them, politely disagreeing on personal takes is a thing on the fedivers. They should join and try. They might then find your takes very much helpful and interesting.
I've brought Lemmy up, but no one's seemed very interested. As for my takes, welllll... I share them when I'm in polite company.
Same for me. But I'm not sure I'll behave the same knowing my folk are roaming lemmy's comment.
On the one hand, it has the same potential as reddit to be anonymized. On the other hand, how hard could I be to pin down?
