Showerthoughts

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 one of those things that's too subjective and heavily depends on a person.

I know a person who got lasik just because she hated glasses. I, myself completely avoided wearing glasses as long as possible and still do if not necessary aka i don't need to see clearly further than a meter. But at the same time i go around wearing sunglasses almost every time I'm out and it's just daytime.

I know people who wear fake glasses just because they like how it makes them look.

Same. They could be called dayglasses, as far as i am concerned

Pretty much, actual sunglasses would need to be even stronger, especially during summer or clear winter day with snow.
