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.

literally on assumption 2 they're already wrong a typical AMERICAN english speaker would but everyone else would call tuna salad tuna mayo and pasta salad well we don't really eat that that nuch but if it had hot dogs we'd call it hot dog pasta I'm not sure what to call it if it's just peppers and pasta and sauce I think then creme fraiche pasta cause we'd use creme fraiche not salad cream and taco salad is just taco filling so no by assumption 2 they're already completely wrong pizza is by no means a salad a salad is predominantly vegetables or at the very least fruit
