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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

That’s what a headlight near a hill would say.

Hats are more commonly the subject of UFO photos than UFOs.

Hats are more commonly the subject of UFO photos than aliens.

FTFY

If you can't identify the object that's flying, it's a UFO. It doesn't matter what it is. A flying hat that isn't identified is still a UFO.

If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don't know what it is you've seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.

That is only because Aliens monitor all aircraft on earth and will if given the chance teleport-swap your hat for a UFO while it is thrown in the air (it is the perfect time to do it unfortunately). Notice how most politicians don't wear hats, it is because they know their hats were long ago replaced with alien monitoring UFOs that only look and feel like hats and they are keeping the truth from us.

Wait, were the yeerks hats all along?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Correct.

More photos of UFOs have been determined to be hats than have been undetermined.
