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.

Before you tell me how you regularly use yours, I am saying you're a minority, not that you don't exist

I use different heights depending what I'm working on. I never stand at the thing, but setting it high to do detailed electronics work, setting it low to comfortably use music electronics on, or setting it just high enough to wheel my full 88-key weighted keyboard under but still use my computer makes it absolutely worth it.

I work in an office full of engineers, and all of these freaks use them standing all the time.

I mostly agree with you, though. I been a lot of places where they all stay at the same height.

Mine pretty much only gets raised when I need to tuck my office chair under it (basically never)

That's because standing sucks, this isn't me being lazy moving around doesn't suck doing something doesn't suck but standing in one position all day does suck I would say you should put a treadmill under it and it's probably better than standing in one position but it still sucks and is impossible to work.

They're unreliable and break constantly. At least, I've had to call in support for my Uplift desk twice now, and my desk at work has also stopped working. I don't know why they're so shitty.

I've never understood why people think they need a motorized desk when they could just get a desk that's fixed in the high position and a stool-height office chair.
