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.

Back in the day it would always be like "prices starting at 59.99"

rational thought is the most effective weapon any person can have [against the companies trying to steal your money out of your pockets with ~~mindwashing~~ ads] so they try to not activate it by not citing numbers.

Actually, the most effective weapon is not having money, regardless of how cheap the thing may be. The fuck do you mean a double cheeseburger isn't on the dollar menu anymore? The fuck do you mean they got rid of the dollar menu?! I'll just get a Little Caesars $5 hot and ready pepperoni pizza then. Seriously? What about a $5 footlong...? Oh fuck off...
