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 don't know, I find this distinction by gender curious. Although considering that my sisters are very much into doing things their own way, it's not much of a surprise.

EDIT: a more precise description of what my sisters do and one of my sister's job.

Perhaps culture and/or upbringing have something to do with it.

My mother has always prioritized her economic and work independence, something she taught my sisters. My brothers and I, on the other hand, were always stressed the importance of having a stable job.

Then how come you don't work with horses?

... I perceive there's a joke here but I don't quite get it. Could you kindly explain, please? 😅
