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

I'd also extend it to mental and psychological state
We may feel guilty about feelings and choices that are normal and common. We only see the actions of other people and we only hear what they say out loud. We know how we feel deep inside but we aren't privy to that level of insight for other people.
We might feel that we are better or worse than other people as a result, when in reality we're likely similar
I don't know... I cringe at what some Hollywood movies portray as 30 year old men... And Im happy I'm not like that myself at all.
We are probably quite different inside, at least some of us...
