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'd like to think im not a stupid person, but sometimes I'm not too confident. Perhaps most of my "stupid moments" stem from this.

Everyone is stupid to someone. Self awareness is the first step to improvement. Feeling something you did in the past was stupid is a sign of growth. The most stupid people, never feel stupid.

I for one am stupidly trying to learn how to be a mod.

Congrats you got the second ever report in our community.

I got one report for "Not a shower thought". Thought I would pass the feedback along.

I got reported? Lol. Oh well. Sorry everyone, I will try to be more mindful I guess.

Thanks! I wasn't really sure what to make my community tbh, and I was working on a story, so I just picked something where it fit, and something that i happen to really enjoy lol. Playing it by ear for sure.
