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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

The only feeling worse than "Why didn't I think of that?" is "I thought of that, but didn't do anything about it!" (sh.itjust.works)

I've thought of an improvement to an existing product, but don't have the thousands of dollars to try an patent it, or start selling it in it's improved fashion. It sucks, cause it would be nice to have and I think a lot of people would want to buy it.
