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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

I guess I'm not special enough, Nicole doesn't want to talk to me.
update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');
🚮
EDIT: lmao cope harder, spammer. Makes it easier to find your alts.

Is it normal for people to regret what they said on here? Because I tend not to change my mind from downvotes and dumb responses. I do block people though
My only regrets are having to read stupid responses that completely missed the point of what I said because they want to argue with what they think I said.
Occasionally I learn something new from responses, which changes my perspective.
I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with "I agree" 😊 ... though even then some people still get confused 🫠
What are you talking about? You're way off base, and completely unreasonable. It's so typical of you people that I have a generalized baseless belief of. What about this other person that has nothing to do with this? Do you agree with them, too? I bet you also hate soldiers defending our country, and probably kittens too.

Downvotes sometimes make me want to clarify what I wrote on the assumption that it got misinterpreted.
Has that ever worked for you?
I do it a lot and can't think of a single time it worked.

My thought was more "which of the things I wrote triggered such a reaction?" I'm often surprised.
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I'm depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I'm letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I'm probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I'd like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I'm too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.

My first thought is always "Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again" 😂
Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!

I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.

Often followed by, "I said that?"
Then you read your original comment and, no, you didn't say that; someone's just trying to gaslight you or they're straw manning.
Or they keep explaining what you already said because they don't understand nuance or context.

I know what I said, y'all's angst feeds me.
This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.
I might not always be right, but I'm never wrong

Me is, how stoned was I.
A bunch are usually people disagreeing and making up situations to make themselves right… i.e., you posit that the sky appeared blue when you went outside today, the replies are: not if it’s night, not during cloudy days, etc. and at least one that sounds like they disagree but are reiterating what you just said.

If your in for a wild ride, you can post something like "Steam sucks", or ask anything about "Hexbear". If you just want positive attention, go with "What's the best distro for.....?"
If you just want positive attention, go with “What’s the best distro for…?”
Clearly the best distro is Windows 10!

Steam does suck though? It's hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.
Looks like we have a noob that wouldn't survive 10 minutes in a kitchen lobby here. Everyone knows that cooking with steam preserves nutrients, enhances flavor, and retains the natural texture of food.

This is my primary use of reddit.
Late night shitposting, i instantly forget, and seeing lots of interesting comments in the morning.
Most of the time I know exactly what I'm getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it's me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.
Look at all these replies! I can't wait to tell all these internet randos how wrong they are!

Lmao yeah sometimes. Since I mostly shitpost I just assume that the posts have had the intended effect of either making people laugh or working them up a little about something they care about. Just enough to make them share some stuff they're really passionate about. I like hearing people's unfiltered opinions.
Immediately go to my comments to see whats getting downvoted to hell.
True dat mate.
O, i know the feeling
Half the time you just have to say "Fuck Tankies" or "Vote DNC" and you'll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you've ever seen in your life.
