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.

Not that the big space cabal is telling us.

Exactly, no mention of moon cats, what are they hiding?

But we cannot really say whether Curiosity killed any cat while on earth or not, until NASA release the whole footage of it on earth, the cat is both killed and alive at the same time.

I'm starting to think Curiosity was a WMD to kill all of catkind, but the felines convinced their human servants to get rid of it

Something something misinterpretation of Schroedinger's box.

In other news, earth is deemed as the most hostile environment for any living organisms.
