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.

Sometimes I'll set my phone down somewhere like in my car or room and then leave to go do something and my podcast cuts out, reminding me I forgot to bring my phone with me. Clutch saves

On the flipside, the rate at which I forget my phone in a different room has increased significantly since switching to wireless headphones...

Easy fix. Tie a string between your phone and headphones.

Heey, maybe make it multiple wires, have it act as a backup transmission system in case the BT fails!

All we need to do is patent that shit as distinct fro wired headphones ("it's just a backup system, bro, not the main mode of transmission!"), then sell it for ten times its production costs apiece (we'll outsource to a Freer™ country, of course!)
