Showerthoughts

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.

That is a great idea ๐Ÿ‘. Thank you for making Lemmy an even more positive place. I

'm still not sure what a language comment is.

But what about all those lovely 7+ paragraph diatribes we get instead? Lol

But yes, it can really sour my day just to have someone comment something halfway mean-- more positivity would be nice.

OP you're a nice person and people say nice things about you

On Reddit I would be sarcastic, cheeky, blunt and arrogant. Only because everyone else is on there.

But here the community is nicer already. Even so, I want this place. to be a better place. So even if someone on lemmy is the above descriptors, I'll always be kind.

Great idea, so simple yet you're the only one who actually thought of this. You rock!

This is not a shower thought. It's just a thought.

While your comment doesn't fit with the request made by op, i appreciate your contribution which made me and a few others interact with this post.

I had a date last night. It was great.

Tonight I plan on having a grape.

(My ex wife laughed when I told her this)

Imo there's no need for it to be "random." Just add to the discussion in a friendly, supportive way.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's a great idea internet person...I mean quack quack

Whatever, you've got great ideas and probably smell nice.

You're very wholesome OP, we need more people like you ๐Ÿ˜
