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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

How is video different from text? We had a lot of lies and propaganda in newspapers durin WWII and everybody believed it, I don't think it will change just because it's a different medium now.
You know how the Brittish were able to shoot down so many nazi planes? Carrots improved their night vision.
Now personally I don't understand how shoving carrots in your eyes would improve your vision, but thats what the papers say!
They had proper equipment.

He specifically mentioned AI videos.
When he said go see real life he didn't mean YouTube.
And I said, what's the difference with lies in text in a newspaper and lies on video on youtube? There is no difference, so nothing will change.
They’ve been doctoring photos for at least a hundred years now.
