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.

I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.

Same, I even set my display name to my real name. It's fine.

I had this exact thought. It was time to shorten, and make it less weird.

I changed mine but I have no idea why I picked this

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I snagged the name I wanted this time instead of having to add a bit of punctuation since a dead account was already using it on Reddit.

I actually installed threads just to grab "my" name, but it's already gone there so fick em

But, I like my username. Why would I change it?

I decided to just go with a randomly generated name. Privacy and all :P Also, don't have to stress over it being bad
