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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.

I’m the little dude who lays 3 stairs and then goes boldly forward.

I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.

Lemmings is just the best name for us. It's so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don't need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.

In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don't even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.

Lemme lend my fellow lemmings some lemons.

NO! I said months ago I hate this. I still hate this.

You’re better fall in line and jump off this cliff with the rest of us.

Your comment was so applicable to any of my comments that I assumed you were replying to the one where I said I wasn't going to start wearing pants at work.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Less talking. More dropping trou.

So what's your preferred alternative?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.
