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.

Manor lords who want to see attackers coming from a distance. Requires a few dedicated serfs for all the scything, but such is the cost of protecting one's estates.

Werent it more a flex how rich you were?

"See that lord over there. He is so rich he does not even need to use all off his land for agriculture."

In the 20th century it morphed into a marketing gimmick to sell lawn equipment, fertilizer and products to maintain a perfect manicured lawn

"See Mr Jones next door. He is so rich that he can afford to have a perfect cut grass lawn with no dandelions in it"
