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.

Why did you think this was worth sharing?

Because I'm not insecure, nor do i feel unworthy. If people disagree in my worth, that's their issue, and again, it reconfirms the concept that they are insane

No no, I mean why did you think it was interesting?

Because it has massive implications. When I leave my house, I encounter people and i can't treat them equally. I have to be cogizent that they are batshit insane. I'm using colorful language for effect, and i recognize it's ableist. I mean more-so that they aren't' rational or intellectually honest. However, it's deeper than that because even when I'm home, i can't engage with people online either because they are the same people ahahaha. So I'm naming my cat "realty" so i can pay attention to reality or maybe "Clarity" because there is truth in love (such as petcare), and truth is clear.
