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.

It's also floating in liquid.

Yea, I was gonna say, it's really wet in there too. But at least it's got a snug blankie membrane of sorts that does all its local feeling for it, since it couldn't actually detect any of these things for itself with no nerve endings of its own.

For a second there I thought you meant feeling as in emotional and was really confused haha

I just imaged the membrane hugging my brain like "don't worry, I got you, focus on keeping this idiot alive"

I am amused at the idea that ones brain would be making derogatory comments about itself in the third person.

It feels everything for us but can’t have feelings of its own. Tragedy. 😔
