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:
- 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.
Don’t got a soul. I am a blob of electrified fat piloting a meat mech
What do you mean by soul?
Soul? That's just an excuse to justify not doing a damn thing for an extended period of time.
What do you mean by soul?
You probably don't mean what I mean. I mean, there's some overlap, but not precisely. It's vague.
Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.
If anything, I think "mind" might be what you're looking for. Why complicate things with an indefinable term like soul?
Would you like to discuss it?
No. This is nonsense.
Eye roll. Just shut it down will you? Why even bother posting if you're not being constructive? Discussion expands the mind.
And he's the moderator of "atheism". Where's the interest in the subject?
What's your argument? What's your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing.
So seriously. Gimme something substantial.
You were obviously not listening.
What did I fail to address? The "no the whole concept is just an excuse etc..." or "do you mean mind etc...?"?. Because neither fits the bill.
Come on, gimme something solid.
Also, are you into meditation?
You weren't listening when I said I did not want to discuss it, and yet here you are, again. Go flex your soul or something.
You're a moderator of "atheism" but you don't want to discuss it? Come on.
"Attention" is a closer match.
Mind (or "intellect" if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts.
Soul would be a kind of attention-body.
Look into the differences between altered states versus altered traits for a scientific perspective on this.
