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 feel like the people I interact with irl don't even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

Sure! If you tell me a little bit about your tastes and interests I'll probably be able to throw something at you that you may or may not have seen before, but probably do like!

What are some of your favourite movies, games, books etc? What are some of your hobbies and interests? What subject(s) lights a flame in you and makes you passionate? Could be anything from entertainment, to career to lifestyle etc. I don't need much more than the broad strokes and only share what you're comfortable with, of course. Then I'll look through my letterboxd and see what I can find. Haven't watched every movie ever - far from it, but have watched quite a lot of films and know random shit about many films I have never seen as well. Some genres I'm more well versed in than others, but can probably still point you in some kind of direction that will work for you. 😊

Right on, sounds like fun! I'll PM you instead of putting it all on here. :)

Thank you for your list! I haven't forgotten you, my friend! I have started compiling a list of films, but will probably not send it before the weekend when I have the mental capacity to sort through it without being distracted by work week stuff, lol.

I really hope I have something in my arsenal that you haven't seen and that will make you excited to check out xD

No worries! Take your time, real life always comes first lol. I'll be happy to see what you come up with no matter what. 🙂
