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.

Im becoming unsettled. Maybe a few memes total on first two pages. How could things go so bad? Where are the yester beans gone?

Bullying someone who's country is at war with a dictator is bad, yes.

How about claiming Gaza before the corpse is cold?

What a fucking country.

This one stings just because how much I wanted kamala so we didn't have to learn what trump had in store.

Bad but good content. It's like watching a train derailment. It's bad but I don't want to look away

News should always take a higher seat than memes. I don’t know why this is considered abnormal. For ages, the front page of ALL newspapers paper have been news. Not the comics section.

This place ain't the newspapers

Lemmy is a link aggregator. News are linked. Memes are directly uploaded.

It’s not a comedy forum either.

Feels like it's been that way since the election to be honest

Lemmy has always been a political outlet, but post election has been out of hands.

I mean, it makes sense. We're witnessing the US becoming a fascist dictatorship in realtime. It's a huge upset to the way the world has been for everyone living's lifetimes.

Yeah, it's like not being able to look away from a train wreck, but it's a humongous fiery train wreck that has been advertised and teased in every form of online media for the past two years.

Fascist America warnings be like:

Beautiful. Thank you for reminding me of this.
