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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It's similar to people who got into the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter after watching the movies. The movies aren't exactly like the books, and generally speaking, "the book was better", but the movies are easier for a newbie to digest and if they enjoy it, they'll feel more comfortable committing time and effort into digging into the "deeper" version of it.
Ok, that makes alot of sense. I'm like the person who watched the movie and think I know what the book is like (but really the book is much better).
