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.

Instead of the perfectly-fine "expired" food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

That's exactly what they do already for 99% of the food. Not everything is donatable, but the vast majority of it is. They get tax relief back, so they have financially incentive to do so.

They already do that, dude.

What do you think they do with all that stuff? They don't toss it out, that's stupid. You know how expensive it is to pay for a garbage truck to come pick up the trash compactor dumpsters they have and replace it with another? Why pay to throw stuff out when they can get tax credit for donating that stuff.
