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.

I watch this movie about three times a week currently. Usually just the first half because my kids fall asleep before intermission. The first hour/hour and fifteen minutes of this movie is just banger after banger. All Gas No Brakes until after favorite things but a case can be made that Do Re Mi ends the spectacular run of songs.

The Muppets’ remake is gold too, Julie Andrews did a great job there.

It was only a few weeks ago that I learned “do, re, mi,” etc., are the actual names of the notes in other languages, or at least French. My wife found it confusing that English uses letters, and even more that do is the same note as C in English, so they don’t even start with the same note.

Do is the root of a key in movable Do solfeggio. In the most natural key, C, Do would be C. Basically, solfeggio is relative, not absolute. Most instrumental pedagogy use absolute pitches in North America. Vocal pedagogy has more use of relative pitches. This makes sense, as many instruments have absolute means of playing most notes. The voice does not.

Edit: Don't ask me why A isn't the root of the most neutral key. No idea why it's C.

I’m partial to the Junior Vasquez remix of “Climb Every Mountain” myself.

Wasn't just the song that slaps, then.
