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.

For clarity, could you provide an example of what you mean?

An example of something that makes personality less visible is social anxiety. Changing that kind of stuff doesn't mean that one is wrongly "forcing it" or being less genuine.

Some advice mentioned in these comments are examples of criticizing the intention of finding a romantic partner ("intention" might have been too vague): https://www.reddit.com/r/CatholicDating/comments/1h0gy5r/what_is_some_advice_christian_people_swear_is/

Alternative phrasing of my observation: ... they confuse personality with the box surrounding it, and they take their own box's transparency for granted

Fucking what? Is this AI or just an incredibly stupid post?
