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.

Part of me is all for this, but part of me realizes this would only make things worse for pedestrians and bicyclists.

That weird shaped guy that Florida keeps electing would just move the goalposts more and do whatever he can to torment anyone who is lgbt

Confirmed, walking around town instead of driving is gay.

I just wish I could get people to care half as much about health care and wages as they do about their meaningless pieces of nylon fabric.

Isn't black and white stripes the "ally" denominator already?

Techhnically that's black and white stripes with a capital lambda.

Black and white stripes can be used as such too, though.
