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.

Well, your's isn't thinly veiled.

Seriously though, a comm with such an open-ended theme will always attract stuff like this. You have choices.

Also, isn't a shower curtain a sort of thin veil, too?

Reminds me I didn't have any for a while. I should make an effort.

I would say that most are not but I think this one pushed it to 51% sooooooo

The whole internet seems to be heading that way. Everyone just screaming into the digital wind.

Because it's all just bots. And yeah, I'm a bot.

I do my most vengeful thinking in the shower.

Sounds more like a rant and not a shower thought

It doesn't have to be a smart comment.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Do you not rant in the shower?

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I mean that was also true on Reddit so eh.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I just soap up, rinse and get out.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

This would be a rant if it were slightly longer.

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago
