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:
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.

Nah, it's gonna be the Gatesgate
If it involves a gator at a gate it's gonna be Gates Gator Gate Gate
We really need to stop affixing -gate on to every conspiracy and scandal.
That's outrageous. What you are suggesting is gategate!
You can't just take it away - ya gotta come up with a good replacement that'll catch on even better so people will switch.
-slop seems to have already caught on
Gates-slop. Sounds like a mess made in the bedroom.
The problem isn't the -gate suffix, it's that we've had a once-in-a-decade scandal each month for the last 10 years.
Thing is, the most recent findings go back almost 15 or more...

I want it to be named Gatesgate.
If?????
i guess has to be one that stands out above the others, so could be referred as the gates' gate, or the gatest gate, or the mother of all gates
Gate^2

No. Blowing bubba is a billgate.
It'd be the Gategate. It would only be called Billgate if Bill was a woman.
Only if it happened at the Billgate hotel. Otherwise it's a 9/11
Thing that’s starting to irk me is the bigger picture. To some degree we kinda present the “-gates” as the next thing in the media. Like as if you’re following a television series waiting for the next episode to drop. And that creates this feeling that it’s just a temporary thing that has no impact. Once it’s out of the news cycle it’s resolved and life goes on as usual.
I think we all know rationally speaking that with everything that’s going on, it’s quite the opposite. It’s not just Epstein/Trump/…-gate. It’s fucking “everything is connected and everything is fucked”-gate.
For you, the day a billionaire is involved in a scandal is a big thing. For me, it's a Wednesday.
