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.

Counterpoint: You’re the bad friend for asking your friend to help you with a dead body

Yeah, this shower thought is awfully judgy coming from a (presumably hypothetical) killer.

Counter counterpoint: you are the dead body and your best friend is helping to bury you.

"yeah, when I said I'd do anything for you, that was a fucking figure of speech"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I have prepended an almost every time I've said seriously that sort of thing to someone.

For me it'd be fine. For my actually close friends I specifically said I would help them with a body if needed, so they're honouring my wishes by asking

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.
