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.

They read that part. They replied to it.

But also no it doesn't.

A guy and friend buy a Wii, discover it has lights.

Holy shit that felt like AI slop.

I dunno, I like people telling long-winded semi-pointless tangentially-related stories for some reason

Same. Maybe we suffer from the same malady? Let me know if you ever get a diagnosis.

I love the way you asked this. My only potentially relevant diagnosis is ADHD, and I've been "peer-reviewed" as autistic though I'm not formally diagnosed so I try not to claim the title.

Hahaha, thanks. I also enjoy watching movies from the middle, and trying to figure out what us going on.

Same. Some of the great storytellers were such. Many of them have/had editors! Still, my bleary eyes were not prepared.
