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.

How about KPOÄ 🤣

Click here for translationThat would mean "bastards", but only in the literal sense, meaning that "No policeman knows who their father is."

More like All Cops Are Born Out Of Wedlock ACABOOW. The father can be known.

"All cops' fathers have been married to people other than the cops' mothers during conception"? Is that what "Out of wedlock" means? So, basically ACFHBMTPOTTCMDC?

[–] TeNppa@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 weeks ago

Outi of wedlock just means that the parents weren't married to each other. They don't need to be married to someone else.

I was thinking "kaikki poliisit ovat pahoja"

Isn't that the translation of ACAE, though? 🙃
