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.

They are already absurdly large. I didn't notice the size of my phone until I wanted to do simple gestures like going from the bottom to the top most part with my thumb or trying to type with one hand with the keyboard in its original state.

Before it didn't bother me and I even celebrated it, since the bigger the screen, the bigger the videos and games. But now I realize how annoying it is to use the phone as a..... Well, a phone. And it looks like it's going to get worse with flip phones and other bullshit.

At this rate, "brick" phones are going to come back, and everyone will be "delighted".

All clothes can be created cheaply or expensively, for any gender. Men wear skinny jeans too, just like some wear baggy jeans.

If women want pants with bigger pockets, why would they not be produced? The majority of fashion designers are women.

My girlfriend only wears pants with big pockets. You know why? Because she wants to, and they're available. Same with lots of other women I know.

This isn't some patriarchal conspiracy to keep women sexy or sell purses and handbags. It's just what most of the consumers want, and I don't know why it's so hard for people to accept that.
