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.

Perhaps his lie only counts for things he knows though. Also, in an alien society he would be the most valuable asset from another world since he can create infinite wood which is the rarest element in our solar system.

Seems kind of mean, cutting his nose off.

His infinite nose? What if it's too heavy that he can't lift his head. You'd be doing him a service...at least that's how I'd justify the war crime. Talking about war. My god, what a tactical advantage.

Also, his nose would eventually collapse under its own weight. I imagine that's more painful than a surgical, clean cut.

This makes me think of that Guinness World Records woman who is world-famous for donating almost 700 gallons of milk because she could not stop producing milk: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2024/11/big-hearted-mom-donates-record-levels-of-breastmilk-to-help-over-350000-premature-babies
