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.

Tennis for people who can't run anymore.

But racquet ball is already white tennis, which is white badminton, which is just the white version of Battledore and shuttlecock.

White ness flow

Yard Polo > bocce ball > Paddleball > racket ball > badminton > tennis

The top Badminton players are mostly Asian with a few Danes. Badminton is very popular in Asia. It's as far from White as you gonna get.

I should've clarified. White ness is measured by how many pieces of Walmart brand equipment are mouldering in suburban garages.

My God that's white.

Aww man I love pickle ball. Met some great people. Plus there is a 10 court brew pub with a league. Don’t see tennis having that

I remember playing pickleball in gym class and thinking it was a game the teachers in my school made up. Also I ain't never seen a minority in any racquetball court I've ever seen. Not that I go to many racquetball courts, buts it's always old white dudes.
