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.

I'm a "If I don't do it when I think about it, it's not getting done" kind of person, so I like being able to do EVERYTHING on my phone, because it's always in reach when I need to accomplish something.

That being said, I HATE downloading apps and creating accounts to do simple one-off tasks.

Last week we went out to dinner for our anniversary, and there was a QR code to pay the bill. I think, "Cool, I don't have to wait for the server to take it." So, I scam the code. It leads me to an app download. Ugh. Fine. I'll wait for this to download. Once I open it, it prompts me to create an account.

I immediately uninstall, and wait for the server to take, run and return my credit card.
