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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Too bad his middle name is Elon. 😒

Sadly, half of voting Americans think you're a fascist, Chinese bot.
Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.
~~half~~ 1/10th of voting Americans.
Eligible, not voting. It's roughly 1/3 of voting folks are maga.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
EVERYONE here has the internet, yet 4 wrong answers before this...!!!
maga is 1/10th of voting Americans?

Trump isn't a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.
Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.
I still don't understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he's anything like them or has why idea how they live? He's literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.

for some reason Donald Trump doesn't go in the category of "people named Donald" in my head. like Tom Cruise, he's not a Tom, or a Thomas, he's always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else's first name is donald, it doesn't make me think of him
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.

Donald as a baby name has been steadily dropping in popularity since at least 2000.
You need to search here (can't directly link the result):
My link was bad. This should be closer.

It quickly reversed in 2022. More likely a statistical anomaly. Why not go up in 2016 to 2020?
Hey, whoa! C'mon now. We don't know that's yhe reason. Retro cartoons are on the rise. So much so that MeTV just launched a retro cartoons network called "MeToons".
How do we know it's not because of Donald Duck????

I don't think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don't think of Bush.
Yeah, Adolf really doesn't bring anyone notable to mind.
Trump may be a very poor candidate, but he didn't kill 13 million people.
1: Yet.
2: That isn't even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.
Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.
Let him have another term and we'll see how he measure up. And he's up to a few 100k so far in my books.
Not yet. He's certainly working on it.

It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.
Why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks
Nice. Office Space reference.
Reminds me of that other name that kind of just withered away. What was it?
Oh yeah...
Adolf.

They'll make lovely couples with the girls named Khaleesi
Why though? Glover is cool.
He’s not too happy that his parents named him “Don Glover” (dong lover) though.
I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren't vaccinated, so
There were a lot of German boys called Adolf back then...
