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.

You're sharing your thoughts about the real life club online.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking about how soon we potentially won't be able to believe any photo, video or text we see online is "real". Talking in real life to people will be the only way to build trust.

Have you met people in real life? Good luck.

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.

DnD fortnighly in the local game shop, Edinburgh. 5+ years of strangers, mostly dads/middle aged guys. Would really appreciate some diversity. DMs of 20+ experience, noobs very welcome. Time wasters welcomed it seems too, but wanting to add to the team for reals

That's great!

One time I went with a friend to the local game shop for a magic the gathering thing and got crushed by a 13 year old

Do you think we should be allowed to talk about it on local morning news shows

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dude, if you think the morning news is real, then you really gotta re-evaluate your commitment to real life club.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I didn't say morning news is real, I asked if commenter thought we should talk about it there.

Did you ever see Dan Deacon on the morning show? Check it out

I was just monkeying around. I have seen this, but I totally just rewatched it, great performance.

I like it! Should we settle for a common design or go wild all over the world ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

We should let a million flowers bloom (in a non maoist way)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I’m old and I would be all over that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
