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:
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.
This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:
It doesn't really vibe with the rest of the sub but idk what sub one would put this in.
Sorry I had to run and didn't get to wrap up my thought.
I don't really mind if a post isn't a perfect fit. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. If we had hundreds of really strong posts every day then I imagine I would be more strict. Lemmy is small so at least we can be friendly and supportive in decisions that aren't clear cut.
Wrong sub, but I agree with you wholeheartedly Every single word of it.
I'm tired boss
Define doing well, and good life? How much free time do you have? How does your work/life balance stack up?
Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to speak with you again..
Burnout.
I say find a hobby you can do and check out. Today I was flying my kite and tuned out
I love flying kites. I haven't done so in a long time. Thanks for reminding me.
I just bought a prism synapse and flew it for the second time yesterday, it has been pretty fun. Also did some geocaching afterwards.
I enjoyed seeing the map created by the robovac my partner bought, so I feel like we're enjoying similar things.
We're all scared, it's the human condition. Why do you thinks I put on this tough guy facade? Now, beat it!
I was never one to analyze dreams but I thought it was comical a couple weeks ago I told someone I have repetitive dreams where I am just hanging out in an empty parking garage at night. Just grey cement, don't really know what floor it's on, not the bottom, not the top. Throwing a ball around with a couple people I don't know or can't even see. The ball rolls down the ramps when someone doesn't catch it and we spend most of our time running back down to fetch them. At no point in time am I ever trying to change what's going on, the conversations are just blurs of nothing worth noting. Yet I still don't want the dream to end and have to get up so I keep pushing it forward.
Not till they mentioned that interprets to feeling worried/ stressed, stuck, and unmotivated did I ever consider, well yeah... Of course that's what that means. I haven't had that dream since, but it was comical to take something I was blatantly ignoring and putting words to it.
Not saying any of it has real merit, just conversing
That's just the impending clinical depression creeping in.
Nah, I've had many depressive bouts (bi-polar). This is more like I've given up on the world post-Trump-2. I'm checked out to avoid the depression. One could argue this is still pre-depression, and I wouldn't argue back. But it's not yet depression. I note that you said creeping… I'm distinguishing between them.
yeah, I know what you mean.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I also think of overthrowing the oligarchy in the shower.
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn't feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don't know how long
I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.
Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.
It's also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.
I was only awake for nine hours of yesterday and it was great.
