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'm not responding negatively to your post, but I wanted to add that I think for some people, they may be less prone to addictive tendencies.

I've just assumed I was broken in some (another) way in that I just can't relate to those who struggle with addiction. I understand it's a struggle for them, but I just don't seem to have that issue with all the common things. Caffeine products (coffee/tea/soft drinks/pills etc), Cigarettes, Alcohol, Marijuana. Tried and abused it all for years, yet I can stop immediately, cold turkey, and not have any negative affects associated with withdrawals. It's just weird, but not anything that I've felt I had to have changed or fixed.
