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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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've been the pope too long to give up now
I don't even watch wrestling. Just the idea of an elbow drop is hilarious to me. Like the rocks people elbow.
I actually did watch a WWE thing on Hulu recently. I made it about 22 min. They took a commercial break during the match.

Too late. I told my wife I wouldn't use it again because it wasn't the greatest, but don-ju-wan-me-baby?

Tbh, my first thought was to use my old one. Then I really went for a fresh start, and actually I like this one better.
Yeah same. I took one of an actual historical person, but it's so niche, you won't find a lot about him, until I've finished writing the Wikipedia entry about him.

Technically you can have any username you would ever like, just spin up your own instance!

I'm surprised I got this!
I didn't exist before, and I still don't. I have never existed, and I never will.
