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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the money people want him to make.
He'll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.
Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit's hands. And spamming "fuck u/spez" everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.
He's the founder. He wants to cash out. He's doing anything to get there.
That's more than just an empty suit. Someone with a backbone would have gone a different direction
He's a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.
