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.

Have you met people? Get out of your bubble. Fucking hell, thats the daftest thing Ive ever heard, and I got an A in gender studies. (It was an elective, and I wanted to challenge my view that gender studies was bullshit, sue me)
There you go showing the class that you DIDNT do your homework.
There has been UBI implemented for studies in multiple countries around the world and overwhelmingly they show that people still choose to work.
Fuck off back your conservative bubble.
But he got an A in gender studies….. can’t be on a conservative bubble….. ya know…. cause he made friends there. /s (just in case)
No, Im conservative. Ubi is just dumber than gender studies.
It works every time.
Yeah. Most that I've met work hard to improve their lot, even the few I know who were born rich enough that they don't have to. Just because you'd be a lazy sack of shit if you could get away with it doesn't mean everyone else would.
I mean, the fact we have the modern world at all is evidence motivation doesn’t stop just because basic needs are met.
If that were all the human drive had in it, that is where we would be.
