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.

Growing up in southern California. Disneyland was common, and so common that I ended up working there. It's changed a lot in the last twenty years.

I still go to Disneyland regularly, but it's always because I know someone that can still get me and my family in. I'm fortunate that I haven't paid to go to Disneyland in over 16 years, and I've been hundreds of times. Now, I typically get disappointed when I'm there. I've seen the parks go downhill and the prices go way, way up.

I've been to Sea World growing up, since it was a two hour drive. And Lego Land. And Six Flags.

It's not the parks that are spoiled, it's the flights and hotels that make these things wild trips for spoiled kids.
