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
Since people are saying that reality is becoming ridiculous, there should be a newspaper that says believable fake things like "people are treating climate change seriously" or "everyone is wearing masks and quarantining after covid-19 pandemic"
"Republicans voters appalled lawmakers wants to hurt immigrants more than help American families"
"Elon Musk announces he is joining Bill Gates and many other billionaires in pledging to give away 90% of their wealth in their lifetimes"
"McDonald's joins a growing movement among companies to prioritize employee happiness and wellness as a means to increase productivity"
"Citizens in both Russia and the United States are calling Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump's upcoming golf fundraiser World War III"
I feel like a news site from an alternative timeline where people aren't dicks to each other would be amazing!
We really do live in the shittiest timeline if “normal” news seems so fake now
