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.

Oh damn it!!
Not embarrassing but I had a pretty unimaginative username and always felt I could have done better. Lemmy gave me a chance to have a kickass username… and I squandered it by feeling too much pressure and writing whatever came to my mind first in the prompt :(

I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.
Nooooow you tell me smh
I knew I should have added "3000" to the end of my lemmy name. DestroyerOfWorlds just sounds so weak now.

Absolutely.
Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

I'm happy with my new username.
I'm happy you're happy.
I like my new user name.
Think I did ok, but does it really matter when I can just create my own instance and choose whatever username I want?
There's also display name separated from username, like mine for example. So it doesn't matter at all, don't even need personal server
My reddit name was based off of a meme from 2009... Funny at the time but boy it certainly showed it's age as time went on.

Eat me.
Anyone comes up in here with random word + random word + random number, we're going to have a fight.
I got my username back! I missed it. Got banned from reddit and used some alt for a while.
I like this username. Keeping it.

I should have thought of that.
Some usernames should stay the same though, right?
waiting for Reddit’s own isis-blowjob-slave to make an appearance
I eagerly await Lemmy's "u/PM_ME_YOUR_BUTTHOLE" phase, if only so we can get it over with and move on.

I refuse.
I’d actually argue that it’s easier to get good names simply because each instance can have its own username pool. For instance, my username could also be used on other instances by other people. Me creating this account doesn’t stop someone from creating the same name elsewhere.
I removed the numbers from my username. Because I'm all grown up now.
