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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Step one: Dad's a MAGA cultist, alcoholic (i can tell you how an interlock device works), who also builds ghost guns in his garage.
I mean.. it sounds like you could solve those problems with a couple phone calls to the FBI
Comments like that gonna get you/him raided lmao
Oh I live very far away from him, and have tried to get him raided.
Just try and make sure those ghost guns are in good hands before you do. Be a shame to waste perfectly good antiMAGA gear that MAGA wasted their time and money stockpiling.
... No I mean... I live on the other side of the country now, my family probably thinks I am dead.
That was years ago now.
... my user name is an allusion to a ghost for multiple reasons, that's one of them.
The last time I talked with him, he quite literally spent 25 minutes trying to explain to me that Tom Hanks's son is part of a cult of pedophile child rapist blood drinkers... and then proceeded to segue from that into 'well hey, lemme show you this ar-10 with no serial stamp on the reciever that I'm working on!'
Full on Q Anon nutcase. Lifelong Rush Limbaugh/Fox News fan. Would routinely tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about in... fields that I have degrees in, lines of work that I have near a decade of experience in.
That was the last time I wore a mask and pretended any of his completely insane behavior was safe to be around.
Sounds similar to my relationship. I have no clue where they reside now or if they’re even still alive, and would be disappointed to find out they were so I never look. Also on the Rush/QAnon train, and intensely evangelical to boot. Which is the great irony of the “Hollywood blood drinking pedo cult” conspiracy, since their God knocked up a teenager and they drink blood symbolically every weekend to celebrate his torture-kill. Every accusation is a confession.
They're literally perfect hypocrites... its actually insane.
... sorry you're in a similar situation, but also, good fucking riddance.
