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

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.

funny. when I think tesla, atlanta is not the first place to come to mind. I would think like portland or seattle.

I wouldn't either. I guess now that Elon is full on MAGA, they like him?

I sure didn't see many electric cars made by anyone else. No Bolts or Leafs or Ioniqs in sight. I think I saw a couple of Rivians.

was it like mostly like cybertrucks? saw one for the first time the other day. I have to say in real life it did not seem quite as ridiculously stupid. Not quite.

No, I only saw one. But clearly newer models of other Teslas. I disagree about the Cybertruck not looking ridiculously stupid in real life. It looked just as ridiculously stupid to me. As have the handful of other ones I've seen.

There are a lot of politically left people in Atlanta, they keep the statewide races competitive. And Atlanta drivers are a special breed.
