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.

For the games I ~~did~~ made, before I had to do a life restructuring and put that stuff on hiatus, I always went with something.x86_64 - I have no idea when and where I got that idea, but I know I copied that format from somewhere.

chmod 755 sonic

It would be: first open The Terminal and type in sudo apt get install sw-io sonic-.exe-linux-,version-github-releases. Then when the .deb installs type "clear". Then type in sudo apt get osbwdiid- java-github-releases-v15.6. Once that downloads attempt to run the .deb only to find it doesn't work. Then open YouTube and find out how to use .debs. Follow the guidance and reopen the .deb, only it doesn't work. Then go onto the github page to follow the installation instructions. It still doesn't work. Give up. The Horrors of "sonic"
