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.

Lemmy learns all mothers aren't like the cartoon characters

Grammar is so horrible there.

Can't help but imagine the conversation with someone more determined.

Kid: He's inside mom he's going to here me.

Mom: *Hear darling, haven't you paid any attention.

Kid: Oh shit, he's got a knife

Mom: He has a knife.

Really love the idea of telling my own mother that there's an intruder in my home, and her response being, "K."

Especially in response to "I'm calling 911". You are texting your daughter. You clearly are in a safe area, your daughter is clearly hiding for her life hoping not to draw attention. propor response would be "let me call, be quiet"
