Showerthoughts

36037 readers

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.

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

But thanks to reddit most of us are here, so it will take bit of time to forget it

[–] Mkultron@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I couldn't agree more.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And the ex is also the waiter.

[–] Leejin@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

I disagree. I'm not trying to fuck Lemmy.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Eh, it’s more like going out with the guys then complaining about your ex. And incidentally, you’ve all had a ride one that particular crazy coaster so you can sympathize.

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Well you are not wrong!

Ironically, you used this sub to talk about Reddit. We left, why don't you move on?

I agree, I just joined here from reddit, and would like see communities florish reminiscent to reddit but like you said, we need to move on from an old Ex and see how it goes

I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?

People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.

I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.

[–] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 3 points 2 years ago

I agree, let's move on. Lemmy is the future.

[–] emu@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, have I been doing dates wrong?

LMAO not that I disagree but it's funny

[–] LucidLethargy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hi, I'm here to complain about people complaining about other people who are complaining about Reddit.

I'm tired of reading about this. We must do something, Lemmy!

[–] xigbar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Making exact copies of subreddits, then being surprised people can't shut up about Reddit. ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Moment.

[–] DivineJustice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Down vote and YOU move on, then.

[–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Or it could be like bitching about an ex to your therapist. Sometimes you need to get stuff off your chest. The good news is you don't need to read it.

[–] neocamel@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

Getting fired from that place was the ~sob~ best thing that ever happened to me.
