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.

The reflection of d would not make a B. The reflection of D would.

I would use this as a gamer tag but I'm afraid people would think it's Nazi related with the two "88's"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I was thinking it would make a great book title for a novel about an underground cult of Voodoo practicing Nazis.

People were born in '88, unless someone's throwing up other red flags that alone doesn't raise suspicion

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

People were also born on the 14th in '88. Any of 'em who have sense don't put that in their username though, at least for very long.

Source: my poor brother.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

If your brother didn't also include the month then it is pretty sus.

If they did include their entire birth date, then they clearly didn't understand the rules of the internet.

Two 88's is a hit on my nazidar tbh, I'd assume the best intentions but I wouldn't be shocked. .

Unless your name is AryanWarrior1488 I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it’s the nature of dog whistles but 88 is the only one I remember. Even so I’d probably assume birth year and think nothing of it, but I understand the concern.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, it's totally understandable to be worried, in general. It's not exactly ideal to be perceived as a racist.
