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.

If you're a terrible petson, maybe don't follow that advice. For example, if you find yourself seig hailing, ever, maybe try being someone better.

Nah, i rather be with an honest piece of shit than someone how "pretends" to be a good person.

"Be yourself", so i can judge if i want to be with you or not.

On the other hand, someone who "pretends" to be a good person all of the time is essentially indistinguishable from an actual good person.

If you pretends "all the time" then i don't think you're pretending.

Is like those people with Imposter syndrome who "pretend" to be capable by being actually capable.
