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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.

Climate change is just the tip of the big white iceberg
Yep. It doesn't count any of the other huge problems we're creating.
We're rushing towards our destruction in multiple ways. Any of those alone would result in massive deaths. And as resources get tighter, disputes and wars will break out over what's left.
All of these together will nearly certainly lead to our destruction. And this is going to start hitting hard within 5-10 years.
I said the same thing 5 years ago and guess what? It's already hitting hard. Look at America right now, just black bagging people off the street.
The saddest part is that we have the technology and means to fix any and all of these, just not the desire.
This all sounds amazing to me! Being a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist, I literally crave the idea of Humanity going extinct.. I want us all dead yesterday! Please hurry the fuck up Climate Change! Fucking Pathetic Humans.
Sounds good. Why don't you lead the way?
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Just the tip?
