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.

Part of being an adult is knowing that satisfying your cravings shouldn't come at the expense of another's suffering.

Based. Completely unnecessary harm.

Don’t worry I just remove the wings and release the chickens to enjoy a fulfilling life.

How long does it take for them to grow back?

Six to eight weeks but they grow back smaller and tougher.

Then why are you satisfying your craving to be a dick at the expense of our mental suffering?

I get no pleasure from being reminded that I'm surrounded by those that choose to inflict suffering.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So you've chosen to inflict your own suffering too, got it.

I also get no pleasure from being surrounded by morons...

You participate in capitalism you don’t get to complain about “choose to inflict suffering”.
