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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

Is cave exploration an indoor or an outdoor activity? (infosec.pub)

You’re indoors in the sense that you’re protected from the weather and the elements, and the cave could even have some kind of covering or entrance area that could be considered a door or doorway. People have built homes in caves.

Is caving an outside, inside activity?

Some people live in huts or other types of human dwellings that don’t have entry doors. They have doorways.

When I was visiting the Philippines I saw homes on stilts that did not actually have doors, but I would certainly consider the inside of such a structure to be indoors. Pre-colonial architecture may not use a front door.

I recognize this isn’t a great argument, but it’s arguable I think in principle.

If you don’t go in a door you’re not indoors.

You are consistent! I admire this.

Pedantically speaking, I have never been in a door. I've opened doors and passed beyond the portal they were blocking, but I have never phased into or been sealed inside of a door. :p

Tbf the root of door dates to when it was most likely the hole in the hut you walked in through

Door don’t have roots, you’re thinking of a tree or maybe shrubbery.

Shrubbery! I heard some lot galloping by with coconuts looking for a shrubbery!
