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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

[–] Buizel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Well, I'm much happier with this one than my old reddit one anyway.

It's how I've chosen to see myself from this day on.

Hola, Sangria?

[–] ExploringLiterature@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Meh. It's not embarassing if the literature i'm exploring is totally ~~porn~~ not porn.

Are people this averse to making a new account?

Seems like privacy-oriented Lemmy wouldn't care that much but even Reddit with its karma system wasn't that big of a hurdle to new accounts

Edit: apparently Lemmy DOES actually have a karma system

My Reddit name was “ihaveredonme” which is not how British people would say it.

[–] Zelkova@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Its the username I wanted on reddit. Blast whoever had it there, vengeance is mine!

I should have taken a super short nick, but alas.

Cryptid foot doc checking in.

[–] TheFrirish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I barely changed mine but I heard that you can't trust someone with boy in their name and also I grew older so it was time to change mine.

[–] ThrillBlaze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
