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.

The models used aren’t just statistical models that predict the odds of the next weather pattern, temp, events based on historical data anymore, they’re more like actual world weather models like a video game where they render many different models all slightly different and they pick the most reliable, and the nearest outliers to assess the most likely weather. Climate trends changing as more and more energy is injected into the global model from climate change is easily coded into such models. It’s still chaos because climate and weather are affected by so many different variables all at once, that’s why having a slew of different models is useful and necessary. We are still unaware of all the variables, but have enough to be pretty accurate weeks out, but the further out you get, the less accurate the predictions
