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.

That is a word salad I could support, as dbtng already said:)

Ok, but seriously, I studied only a bit of philosophy and no ethics, and the question of discerning between objective reality and subjective observer can keep us occupied for many lifetimes, so no use in trying do dive deeper

If you're willing to write it off, then I'd say you're saying your position is equally dismissed. So cool, it's great to say we can ignore you and dismiss your edgelord take, something I fully intend to do.

Who is the edgelord here? Whacha so mad about? Be nice.

According to this schmuck there's nothing wrong with my behavior so I don't know why I should.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Sure. Ok. But still so angry. What's that all about?

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol. You got nothing of what I said, but I'm ok with it

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like you have issues expressing yourself then

You even understand what you just said? Edit: I misread you "experiencing yourself".

Well, "I can't understand you" does not equal "you can't express yourself". So, do go on with your life, nothing to see here

You're the one claiming I don't understand you so that's on you. I got your points, I just disagree with them.
