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.

I read it 3 times, and I'm still not sure if I understand what they were trying to say.

When I was young I took a camera on every school trip and photographed all the scenery but now looking back the only thing that is interesting about those photographs is when I accidentally included someone from my class. All those places are still there but the people are gone.

At that time, you see your classmates everyday but you don’t see the places you visit everyday.

I still to this day think in the way you were thinking at that time when taking pictures or videos.

It's crazy because we recorded all those things so we'd have them forever, and now most of us don't even have a vcr to play any of those tapes.

Camera banana static lense-sneeze, shutter zipper twinkles backwards; aperture spaghetti, ISO moon socks, focus fog coughs—clickleclick—white balance sneeze-please; flash hiccups, bokeh noodles, exposure? no thank you, just grainy eels whispering.
