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.

Same. I always wanted to change my username but seven years later I just can't.

I got like 5 usernames over on Reddit and don't like any of them. I'm using this on Minds too. Anybody else playing over there now?

Anyone who gets the obscure reference in my name wins nothing

Can't beat first name for a main non-anonymous account

I used my real first name (15 year old account) so I'll be glad to finally use a fictional name

Too late =(

No regrets!

Did this, since you can't change reddit usernames. But since I'm new to the fediverse, I did take a long time dithering over which instance I should register on.

[–] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I chose the same one because I got attached.......

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

I used the same username.

My time has…come.

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

You're 8 days too late for me, mate!

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I’m happy my name was still available.
I like to have a consistent identity.

[–] ChickenButt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got my original username back.
