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:

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.

I'm still not convinced this user isn't a bot.

Ok and who are you? Why should anyone care about whether you are convinced or not? Are you a bouncer at a private club?

Are you running many of your replies through LLMs and just posting the output here? Is that the reason behind the bizarre phrasing of some of your posts and weird non-sequiturs? 🤔

Nice dodge. No, i am just literate. I read books. I write papers. I could guess that you may be projecting.

I'm a user in an online space in a time when we're constantly invaded by nefarious agents of chaos and their bots, hence the concern. I thought that was clear so I didn't feel like writing it down... but, fair enough, quacky, you've convinced me so I'll stop the questioning. And I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused you. 👋

This comment thread is creating an amazing rainbow on the left of my screen.

I'm pretty sure that user IS a bot, though. Weird ass responses
