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.

Good idea. Pizza's not topical - everyone likes pizzas.

Here's the logo of one of my favourite pizzarias for you to use.

Movin' on up the flagpole!

You raise a good point. What other flags could folks surrounded by "patriots" fly for good fun?

I wouldn't do pizza, but I like absurdity. A high brow option might be a pipe... but no, I believe I might go with a lovely, steamy cup of coffee. Or perhaps an uncropped picture of a your pizza flag waving in the air. Yes, I do believe that would be absurd.

Some Lemming has put a United Federation of Planets flag on their pole. They did say that they weren't able to find an outdoor version of the flag so they have to replace it once a year.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I love your soup filled bread bowl, but there's no pizza in that picture.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

This pains my NJ soul

[–] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Ahh, what about a cross-section of a deepdish? Show the world the sexy bits.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

something like this maybe .

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Dave thinks he is hot shit because he has 67 flags.
