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.

- 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 really like 4th of July. But I wish fireworks were illegal. Why can't everyone just buy a cake or have a house party and watch a movie or 2 and call it a night.
I've always thought that we do it because it's safer than firing guns into the air.
And to be fair, both options are safer than just walking around with a torch igniting buildings and people.
Burninating all the people!
in their THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!!
