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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I can assure you, most of them still don't care.

This is accurate. I have a degoogled phone, no mainstream social media, and Linux OS. I have talked to my wife about the reason for my choices, so she is not ignorant about privacy or data gathering issues. She still uses Instagram and Facebook etc. And while she is a bit alarmed at bill C-2 being tabled in Canada (which would share Canadian private citizen info with the USA) I doubt she will think about it next week.

I can't even get her to use a password manager properly. She used the same password everywhere and it scares me.

One of my kids was doing that with password123 etc. I have explained how you may not care that your gym account gets hacked, its the fact that they will try those credentials with your bank account, etc.
