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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Wow, so not only are you just completely stupid but you also completely lack even a semblance of media literacy.
You do know that scientific institutions and the state are two completely different entities, right? Don't answer, that was rhetorical, we all know you don't know a goddamn thing.
For the purposes of my point the difference doesn't matter. Both are offering themselves as authoritative truth. Both are advising the suppression of personal truth in favor of that authority.
(Now take a breath. Dang!)
Your point is entirely bullshit and unworthy of any respect. Your lack of understanding of their differences is on full display by you attempting to assert that the nuance doesn't matter.
Just because you're to stupid to understand it doesn't mean it doesn't matter. It just means you're fucking dumb.
Now fuck off with your illogical fallacies and faulty rhetoric. Or don't and continue to expose the extent of your ignorance.
Most obvious ragebait account
So you are uncontrollably raging now? All rationality is blotted from your mind? Doesn't that seem bad to you?
