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.

By telling you to lighten up? You're ridiculous.

Each comment of yours fits the narcissistic style of speaking: Invalidation, blaming, emotional immaturity, you-statements.

I'm sure it does, just like you reek of concern trolling and AI slop responses. Very unoriginal and very pathetic. Are you incapable of trolling on your own? Or are you so bored and unwanted in your pathetic existence that you seek and crave any sort of attention even if it's negative?

You and I are playing two different games. it seems like you're trying to "take me down" while I'm just identifying your behavior patterns for the audience. False accusations, labeling & insults (e.g., troll, pathetic, incapable). These are all examples of emotional immaturity.
