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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

My grandma once told me how she chopped a burglar's hand off in 1918.
She lived till 2010.
Oh
How about the burglar?
He fled. My great grandfather came home an hour later, and found broken glass and a severed hand in his house.
He didn't find the intruder anywhere nearby, threw the hand in the nearest river, and cleaned up the house.
Police never came, and you didn't call them either, in Germany in 1918.
