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.

If someone were to record a flawless, 4K video of an actual alien walking around or a spaceship flying overhead, people would just think it's a deep fake.

The problem now is authentication. The evidence needs to come from someone with authority

Does it really? You would think that in the times of social media and omnipresent cameras, aliens and UFOs should be omnipresent, if they existed.

And please put warnings before YT links.

UFOs should be omnipresent, if they existed.

There are loads of sightings with videos. Take a look at r/ufo on reddit.

Ufos certainly exist. It's the Alien part that is crackpot.

BTW. All my youtube links open with Newpipe 😉

evidence

Um, who is an authority on these things which dont seem to even exist?

Not that they are an authority on UFOs.

The Navy is in a position of authority and doesn't usually post prank videos.
