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.

The most effective way to show one's disdain for the current state of human civilization is to make and wear silly hats. By wearing a silly hat, one shows that one has no respect for the norms of society, and one becomes a dangerous subversive.

If he somehow gets elected and I don't get a pony, I'm going to be very upset.

All I can think of is this scene from the Rejected cartoon.

Lets start wearing cloaks and top hats again

Cloaks are seriously underrated outdoor wear.

Until you get it caught in an escalator/elevator/revolving door.

But they don't have to reach the ground or get in your way, and you can make them light and breathable but also repel water and protect you from the wind, but you can also open them up and move them out of your way by wearing them as a sort of cape which also lets the breeze in... They also look neat. I like cloaks.

The only thing more subversive than silly hats is signing your Lemmy posts.
