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 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.

Capitalism reduces everything to transactional relationships
I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off.
Read that in Ricky's voice
uuuuuur-fuck off a-already, morty.
Smokes let's go.
I've never even seen the show and I read it in his voice
Sold!
Eh, I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here but when I thought about it, I'd say it's more like a human nature or common sense. I can imagine a person who feels excited by posting spicy pictures online in 2011 and then realizing "You mean people are willing to pay for this shit?"
Capitalism. You shouldn't strive to profit off doing things you enjoy. The profit motive IS the problem.
People selling their labour is an aspect of capitalism, but in that situation, you're not the capitalist.
Or maybe you shouldnt be telling people how to live their lives? Even fans of communism have dictatorial tendencies.
Advice isn't the force of law. Don't be silly. There's plenty of reasons to hate communism that don't require you to be silly.
I'm just not ready to start charging milfs for banging them...
They said "if you're good".
That's fair. "Incredible" is on a different level...
Really in that case you're doing charity
That's not common sense. That's greed.
