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.

Get out of here dude. You're not following what I'm saying: with AI we won't know if the person we're talking to online is a person. We won't know what other people believe or want based on digital media. We already don't to a degree, we self select content we want to see, we create our bubble. People don't like riding the bus, people don't like going to the DMV, because then you're interacting with people from every background with lots of weird ideas and uncomfortable personalities. Plenty of people flat out suck. But I think being socially uncomfortable is both overinflated as a fear and a requirement for making real life change, instead of just posting.
lol
You're right, don't get out of here I'm glad we're here together in cyberspace
