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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

First thing I remember was asking Papa why
For there were many things I didn't know

And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying someday you'll understand

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast, and you better learn it young
'Cause someday, never comes

Mostly when you order something and it says "3-4 business days" it either arrives weirdly quickly, like before noon the day after you ordered or it takes 3-4 weeks.

Soon could mean anything, soon could be three weeks…

is that what soon means to you?

Sometimes…

Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
