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.

If someone were to record a flawless, 4K video of an actual alien walking around or a spaceship flying overhead, people would just think it's a deep fake.

I've seen one myself, back in 2015. Flew right over me without a sound. Someone else on the ground saw it too and flashed an extremely bright beam at it and it responded back by flashing multi colored lights back. I took a picture of it and the only thing that showed up is a small blurry dot. But it was at night.

Amazing. Pack it up everyone. Looks like the old "are we alone" question has been settled once and for all.

It's so good to finally have conclusive, irrefutable proof like this. The government has already arrested OP, of course. They'll get around to scrubbing his comments shortly

Yep that sounds like a flying object that no one identified.
