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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

Aye, it's all about what theme you're exploring or mood that's being set. We don't have batman exploding into mist when he fights people who can lift planes/cruise ships with their bare hands, because that's not the story being told. When the theme is about the consequences of powers, rather than the escapism and being good (the 'super' part of superman being his morals and convictions), we get the boys and their (gory) explosions.
