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.

It changes once a year, how stupid are some people that this is an issue?

Wait till you get a little older and start having a hard time remembering how old you are.

All becomes a blur at some point

And what year it is!

My exact age is almost never relevant in my day-to-day life, I pretty much only get reminded of it on my actual birthday and don’t think much about it for the rest of the year. So if somebody asks for my age, usually I’ll be off by a year or two and my wife will need to correct me, because for some reason she remembers.

If you think about your age every day, you are the stupid one around here. Or maybe you are just 13 and it's easy because you eagerly await the next year so you can be treated a little bit more like an adult so you count the days.

Damn. You sure told us. May this be your shining achievement of the day ✨
