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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

MODERATORS
Posting thoughts on social media in the form of words is an action.

Translation: "I have no way of arguing with this obvious and simply stated fact, so I'll pretend they're 14 and think it's deep and then attack them for that. I'm 28 and this is a worthwhile use of my time."
I'm not 28
Oh but I bet that other person is 14 then. That's obviously the substance of my critique, you win.
Your behaviour is quite excrubulent right now. I don't appreciate that
Glad to hear it!
Funniest shit I read today
But talking out loud with words isn't action? I broadly agree with you, but by that logic it deconstructs the statement entirely.
If typing words is action, then so it's speaking, so the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
Except actions and words both matter so I think the saying is garbo.
Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone's car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?
