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:

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
  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.

But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅

Who needs anonymity? I put my real name, address, social security number, and agenda in my profile. Ha ha. you see no agenda because im just a typical earth man with no agenda of course. lol.

Ita kinda neat imo. It's like being in a small town and seeing a celebrity whenever satansmaggotycumfart joins the conversation.

Remember the user that couldn't 💩 for a week or something?

no no no you have it all wrong. he was looking for a way to avoid shitting for 3 days. it was very important to him that he find a way so that his body wouldn't produce shit during that 3 day period. for some reason.

I want to be remembered as the succulent meal that sometimes makes good points and funny jokes 🍗🍚

Considering how new anonymity is for the human race, it amazes me how people treat it like a crucial element of life. Civilization mostly lacked it for thousands of years because almost everybody lived in villages or small towns - about half the people in the world still do.
