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 have long existential showers or ones were i sing and have no thoughts. No inbetween I'm sorry.

Quite politically charged for an existential shower methinks. And this comm has rules against that

Capitalism has no borders nor nationality, methinks

Sorry immediate response, anyways sorry if it is darker than you think appropriate

Not really darker per se. Just not the typical shower thought vibe.

I get your post though. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I am told my humor is dark and my outlook bleak, but i will try to have a funner shower thought next time.

But i also think that this isnt political but just true. Like regardless of if you think its right or not.
~~Countries become about what they can produce or provide, and that means a workforce maintained to continue to provide the products.~~ ~~And those that own capital can either be state or private thus negating picking a side~~. (Oh god that's worse, i am gonna shut up) Im gonna try and bird law my way out of this.

Bro's all over the place...

But fr, i agree with you, but did you really think about all this in the shower...? Like, you must've been thinking about this for quite a while

I realized it was still off vibe, trying to not go into that topic with you.

And, yeah. I was not kidding about my 2 shower types. I either remember my bluetooth speaker or i lose an hour of my evening. It's a good place to think, i dunno.
