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 played a lot of Vampire the Masquerade in the 90s and liked their origin idea about Vampires.

Basically Cain from the bible is the 1st and only truly immortal, having been cursed to walk the earth forever by god

so every person who is made a vampire is one generation away, most players in the game are at the edge. basically 12 generations away from Cain. The 2nd generation are all dead or beyond isolation. The 3rd generation are the powers that be that control the world and are at war with eachother and have the defining characteristics that all the vampires sired under them have the potential to have

but the old vampires will usually go into torpor for hundreds of years and only influence the world through dreams or proxies
