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 do? So I can quit my shitty soul crushing job and everything will just be fine then?

Depends what you want. Do you want your income to be stable and predictable and not too low? Then that's your best bet. More interesting usually comes with less stability or possibly less income to start.

Is a predictable income something people want or something they need?

You keep framing it as if people can just do photosynthesis and keep a house while they have no income

I know if my income becomes any less predictable than it is now I'll be out on my ass

I certainly enjoy not being homeless and would like to continue not being homeless. If I can actually buy some things that aren't the absolute cheapest worst possible option as well that would also be good.
