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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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 got a package the other day from an online order I had made. My wife asked what it was and I joked and said it might be a bomb, some dust with poison or a virus or something. We laughed at the thought but it got me thinking of all the packages I just open without thinking all the time. I would never know it was a bomb until after it went off in my hands.

If you ordered from a package bomb delivery service it would have an almost 100% chance of being one.

Order from BDS? Are you crazy? It would take forever and probably not make it in one piece. You should try Bombing Express. They have next day air.

I'm waiting for the city wide random delivery service that some country will send some day for everyone to enjoy .... all 2 million of them all at once.

I think something crazy would have to happen for that to be a possibility. Like, the US President would have to be taking orders from Russia or worse.
