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.

i'm using my original reddit username on lemmy, it got shadow banned without explanation over a decade ago, so i created a different one which became my main account, now with over half a million comment karma, stopped writing stuff on that site 2 weeks ago

Same, I've had this handle since 1993, and after the clothing company opened I don't often get it without numbers on the end.

Anyways instances have strict inspections on registrations before approving, especially the username. If the username is inappropriate, just create a different username.

Iโ€™m happy my name was still available.
I like to have a consistent identity.

I used my real first name (15 year old account) so I'll be glad to finally use a fictional name
