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.

There's no stopping it now. Passengers? Just about everyone.

Everyone is proud of their ignorance and animosity, it'll take a great war in order to cull enough of them to bring back sanity.

Odds are you are affected. Odds are you and your friends are all part of the problem, even if you don't realize it.

What's important is that better people can see it for what it is, so they can avoid it when the time is right.

I'd give some advice, but if you can't figure this out for yourself by now then there is probably no helping you.

Dude just take the compliment and move on

PS having social skills isn’t a blemish, it’s a skill. But dumb people don’t like learning skills ig
