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.

Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is strictly catch and release.

I dunno... I kinda like the idea of Parker (via shades of Jeff Goldbloom in "The Fly" maybe) developing an insatiable appetite for insects.

It would make for a fun, thorny, recurring issue at meal-time and all that. :D

There's a fan film on YouTube that is a horror take on Spiderman. I haven't watched it cause I think I might be too aranchnophobic to handle it

My bias for BD is surely showing, but I think I might be able to handle more superhero stuff if it was more interesting in all the awkward little ways it should have been, originally.
