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's already been answered, you just dismissed it because it didn't fit your narrative

I guess you've sharpened your rhetoric down to its most abstract level, huh?

I guess you've made 2 replies specifically to my comment and chose the whine option.

If you wanna keep whining, go for it I guess. If you can't provide a scenario where it is both necessary to bring along a child, and necessary to leash a child, then I feel pretty secure in stating that I don't believe such scenarios exist.

If your want to whine, whine, but without a defending statement or new point to argue, there is no need to comment further.

I did have a point. And your response was simply to sum up the content of your previous comments as "whine".
