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.

Interesting question: what if the call crosses from a two party area to a one party area?
If the call goes from Georgia (one party) to Florida (two party) can the Georgia caller legally record without the Floridian's consent?
Can the Georgia caller then use the legally obtained recording in a Florida courtroom? In a Georgia courtroom? On national news? If both parties are Florida residents but one party drives into Georgia for the duration of the call?
The party in the two-party area needs to get consent from the other, but the party in the one-party area doesn't.
Anybody who tells you the party in the one-party-consent area needs to get consent because the call crosses jurisdictional boundaries is a totalitarian piece of shit who believes in extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Like many judges appear to be...
