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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

No regrets!
I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.

I snagged the name I wanted this time instead of having to add a bit of punctuation since a dead account was already using it on Reddit.
I actually installed threads just to grab "my" name, but it's already gone there so fick em
Thank you sweet baby Jesus
I had this exact thought. It was time to shorten, and make it less weird.

At least its something
HairyButtocks96, at last, you will be finally mine.
But, I like my username. Why would I change it?
I screwed up getting my username without a number. It might still be available but I m also a little lazy and dont feel like changing now.
i've managed to get my u/n on whatever way back to the original demonoid. it wasn't until discord that i found another one, but they capitalize the U for some dumb tasteless reason... i was operating the minecraft discord and Unerds was part of this roblox discord that had somehow managed to get the discord.gg/minecraft name, and they were brigading us. it was kinda funny... ultimately the minecraft community team came on board and they knew people at discord and the url was acquired for us.
Pretty much the same username I've had for years now. Gomiboy...yep,.it trash boy in Japanese. Kinda wish I had gone with something else now
So I noticed this in the user settings (at least here in Liftoff, not sure how it looks elsewhere), but you can set a "display name". Seems like a cool feature.
I've never felt so free as finally ditching my 2013 tier username
Too late for me lol
My main Reddit name was far more vulgar than this.
