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.

Beep boop. I am robot.. beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can't tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don't go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I'm an ass. Let me know cause I've said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

I'm too chicken to talk to girls so they must be fascists.

Op, probably.

9/10 posts in this community are stoned people or edge lords. Not sure how they all seem to miss the mark of "shower thought".

Um, excuse me..

Since when does beauty have anything to do with political opinion?

And since when does political opinion have anything in particular to do with showerthoughts?

I'm not sure exactly which variety it is, but I'm diagnosing you with derangement syndrome

Edit: See what I mean. So sensitive.

I do believe that Republicans have a higher ratio of blondes and cat haters. Not sure if those things are attractive.

What crap. Since when is appearance necessarily associated with intelligence?
