Showerthoughts

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.

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo

Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Disagree. We're enjoying watching our collective ex trainwreck. The chatter will die down soon, let us laugh a little and we'll move on :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed, and not only that but holy fuck we just broke up a week ago. I was in a relationship with that bitch for 12 years, I don't need my homies over here telling me it's time to forget about it lol

Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I haven't really looked at anything else.

"To bitch about it?" Yes, I'm not a fan of the echo chamber of people's feelings toward Reddit; but it's still a situation that's going on, so I'd like updates and conversation surround that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yet here you are posting about lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

But what if that crazy bitch stabbed you and it makes a pretty good story

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would say it's more like when a bunch of friends collectively break up with toxic partners and have a big meeting to talk about it. It'll die down after a while. People on Reddit don't really talk about Digg anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

More like a bunch of strangers who were all dating the same toxic person gathering to talk shit about them.

Wouldn't that mean making threads about people complaining about Reddit comparable to spending the whole night complaining about how your last date only complained about their ex? Not really a great look either, lol.

...fuck, what does that make me, now?

Part of the human life cycle
