Showerthoughts

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.

Yeah so far I've blocked a handful of furry pages and like 1 or 2 just plain old gay ones. Basically I barely want to acknowledge the existence of my own penis. So if I'm scrolling and a post suddenly jumpscares me with a face full of cock, I block.

Lol that's why I have it so NSFW posts are blurred. Also cause I'm on here in public a lot.

Mine is supposed to. Idk why it doesn't sometimes. It's only supposed to not be blurred if I'm scrolling inside an NSFW community. I'm pretty sure all the posts it's happened with have been properly marked NSFW. But multiple times I've gotten jumpscared with it.

What app do you use? I've got voyager and it's never done that to me.

Uh Eternity I think it's called? Maybe I'll give Voyager a try.
