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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Nobody knows how they died, because they're dead.
Many people know how they're going to die, at least approximately. When you're 93 and have cancer, you know.
Coke fueled orgies are a great way to go out, I agree!
I prefer cherry coke. No ice.
Snorting cherry coke isn’t very pleasant though.
I reverse snorted ginger tea last week and I think I prefer coke.
I can argue my father did but did not know how he died.
Be my 62 yr old dad.
Get terminal glioblastoma diagnosis.
Brain melting.....

Brain melting.....
Dead 12 months later exactly not knowing who or what he was/is.
Legit brain/brainstem forgets how to breathe/send heartbeat signals once the glial cells fully bloom and in the end its an off switch with extra steps.
With some probability but not with certainty. At that age it could be anything.
The post isn't about knowing in a meaningful or useful sense. In this context it is about the anxiety of the experience in the moments just before it happens.
