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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What
From kindergarten onwards "No talking. Everyone quiet."
Were you the weird quiet kid at school?
No, I was the kid that hung out with that kid.
This had nothing to do with teachers saying things like "Single file line, no talking class!"
Yeah, that's not how school worked...
It's how mine worked. My best friend and I learned the sign language alphabet so we could talk to each other in class by holding our hands below our desks.
(I think the person with emojis for a username might not have a valid opinion.)
