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.

So you stand for nothing? You've no values? I mean, I guess one doesn't need to have an ideology to be a hedonistic, consumerist pig, lol, it would get in the way!

Please, go on. You seem to be having a perfectly nice conversation with yourself here.

I mean, I assumed you didn't believe beliefs were fundamental and important since your whole post consists of being shocked by it, lol. Don't retreat now, silly man.

Your thesis so far consists entirely of trite accusations. You got something with more substance?

Thesis? Substance? Do you hold any beliefs, are there any value systems or ideas you appreciate greatly and by which you live by? Or don't you? Cause if you do, then your initial post is either a bad attempt at comedy or, idk, a social faux pas? Regardless, it's false, cause you do understand how beliefs are important. And if you don't, then why do you care? Why did you act out when I said values and ideas get in the way of hedonism and consumerism? It's not your case, right? That would be shameful, but whatever. And if it is, then at least admit to it the same way you 'admitted' not to understand the importance of beliefs, or else it's double shameful and a certain sign of a silly man.
