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 hear there was four. One of them is ultra rare.

My friend told me stories of that one but I'm pretty sure she hasn't seen it herself.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Both? I have three. Are there more?

Oh shit there are three!

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I have none :(

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

What's the att/def on your Nicole? I'll trade you mine - just pulled a disappearing Nicole. No idea what the att is, but given that it disappeared from my deck, I must imagine the def is wicked high

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 8 points 1 day ago

Oh she's using a new picture now?

I'll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Aww, I don't feel special anymore.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

I guess I'm not special enough, Nicole doesn't want to talk to me.

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just got mine today, like some tribal initiation

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Still haven't gotten one. Guess the bots don't like me.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You might have received one but we usually delete them pretty quickly. We're either doing an ok job at fighting spam, or I'm keeping her to myself.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago

Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got a message from nicole with a pic. I thought it was a scammer or something. Just a one off thing. Is that not the case? Is Nicole a lemmy thing?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Nope, your first instinct is right, it’s a spammer. But it’s one of the few specific spammers that almost everyone has run into on lemmy, so it’s just a joke. Like saying you met a Nigerian prince who offered you a huge sum of money.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have yet to be messaged by this person. Dunno what anybody is talking about. In fact, I've never actually been messaged by anybody on lemmy.

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

My first Nicole message was today. You'll join the club eventually.

update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');

Gods please don't let this be a trend...
