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 thought Gen A was Forrest Gump’s girlfriend?

…I’ll see myself out.

Is that what they're calling the generation following gen Z? Gen a?

Gen alpha.

So... after that is gen beta? That'll go well. I can already hear an aged Joe Rogan pontificating about the beta generation lacking testosterone

I saw a recent clip of him somewhere the other day and thought he was Alex Jones for a second. The roids have not been kind to him, I can’t imagine what he’ll look like in his 70’s

Hah, Rogan is 7 years older than Alex Jones

It does feel a little symbolic that we have reached Z just as we are reaching climate tipping points.
