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.

Climate change is devastating what we have but it doesn't have to be that way at all!

Take genes from the pest type plants and mix it into the useful type plants so we can have more of the useful plants.

All modern fruits and veggies are GMO on some level. Humand has been selective pollinating plants since the beginning of farming.

That's already happening and people are very mad about it because they think the plants are going to eat them.

Well, that and the companies doing it are also a litigious scourge on traditional farmers, and are responsible for causing cancer in conventional farm workers, and are suspected to be the ones responsible for the increase in food allergies.

A hammer is just a tool. They can be used to do a lot of good, potentially. But, if in practice the only thing that hammers ever really got used for is assaulting people, then it might be reasonable for people to give hammers & their manufacturers a bit of side eye.

Give a pineapple enough time, and it will eat you.
