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.

That's true. They say that when couples give up and stop fighting that is when the relationship dies.

I never understood why people feel the need to fight with their SO so much? Why can't the issues be talked constructively and respectfully towards each other? Why the need to let things get so bad that you need to fight over things?

Some people consider any discussion about difficult matters 'a fight'.

I was in a relationship like this and it was a PR nightmare because all our friends/family would think we are "fighting" like domestic violence when in actuality it was simple difference of opinion, like whether we should budget or what to have for dinner.
