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.

All you people casually interspersing regular posts with porn in your feed scare me. My account had NSFW disabled when I made it, and I've never turned it on.

I want to see dirty jokes, triggering content, and gore.

I don't wanna see tiddies or anime children in skimpy outfits.

How can this be a hard problem for the developers to solve??

Imo nsfw is a bad tag and should be separated to at least viewer discretion (nsfl) and porn. I'd probably add a tag on offensive humor too, since I don't think my workplace would appreciate things like guillotines or 2meirl4meirl, but that is less useful than the other two
