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.

What is this recurring connection between big missiles sending men to the moon and the military industrial complex sending expeditionary forces overseas?

FWIW,

In 2024 Trump won:

49.8% of the popular vote,

312 Electoral College votes,

and,

31 states + ME-02

In 1972 Nixon won:

60.7% of the popular vote,

520 Electoral College votes,

and,

49 states

Two months and 2 days later, Nixon turned 60.

Nixon played football, and at 32 years of age, became a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy;

Cadet Bone Spurs, however, plays golf.

Nixon talked with Armstrong and Aldrin during their moonwalk: "the most historic phone call ever made from the White House".

Trump, however, has a hissyfit while on his stupid website on Easter.
