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 and the TOS

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.

"Deleted" sounds so casual too, like God did it as part of some routine cleanup.

I guess, but only if you have a paradigm of a supernatural being that creates things.

I come from an art background, so I see the word "creator" in the context of an artist. Gods or spirits or whatever don't factor in.

Same for me, "creator" doesn't sound such a bell about Goddesses (or Gods) either.

Purged into the abyss of forgetfulness by the originator.

It's less biblical than "Removed from existence by the originator".

I clicked the link in your post because I thought you meant that that phrase was in the Creative Commons license and I was disappointed.

Are there any Creative Commons licenses out there that include clauses for Warhammer 40k? 🤔 I'd be shock if true. 😜

"The originator" associates in my mind with Chaos from the Hades games more than with Abrahamic God, which is arguably cooler.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago

I was thinking more Warhammer 40k, but I totally get what you mean.

Well, man did create God in his own image, so that only follows.

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys god. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.

Every time I see one of those I think to myself: "I can only wish..."

This feels more like "10 guy thoughts" than shower thoughts
