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.

children are people

Very good! I'd give you a sticker, but I don't know where you live.

insulating them from small forms of possible harm doesn't help their development.

And a leash doesn't do that. Being a hover parent does.

if you pick a reasonable place for your child to play there's no need for a fucking leash 99% of the time.

What? Is that how you people think using a leash works? You think a leash is put on the child in the morning and isn't taken off until the end of the day? Are you for real with that? Forget it, you don't get a sticker for saying the dumbest thing I've heard today. And I've already watched a video about a flat earther.

I think you were projecting with that "you're insane" comment.

I have no idea what you're trying to say this time. Maybe have a lie down?
