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.

I was just thinking that you could loosely look at each day being the four seasons. Morning is spring, afternoon is summer, evening is fall, and night is winter.

EDIT: Seems a lot of people are having difficulty understanding a loose comparison.

Except here, it's just summer all around the clock

You've never been to Texas. It's still 90°F at midnight. It never cools down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean that is cooled down.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Early morning is winter, midday is spring, late evening to midnight is fall. There's a lag time between the times of day and temperature just like there is with the solstices. Gotta overcome the heat capacity.

I like the loose compression very much. Up vote for you!

Can someone explain why this is being downvoted?

[–] ConfusedOrder 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. Humanity will always be an enigma.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, winter, when i walk around in mt shorts and shirt and it's still too humid and warm to exist

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's a pretty cool way of thinking about it
