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.

Supposedly the DOD and alphabet boys have pretty good video, and have gone around confiscating good videos. That family in Vegas that claimed that they had aliens in their back yard a few years ago, the one where the cops said they didn't think it was a prank but wouldn't go into detail as to why, got a visit from the alphabet gang not long after, and they had surveillance cameras that pointed into that yard.

Now, as to whether those videos really do exist or if it's a bunch of hokum, well, it's going to have to be a case of maybe believe it when we see it. I've been following the UAP disclosure efforts with great interest, regardless of where they lead. I've always been a UFO/ET enthusiast, but I'm the type that wants to see proof, not "trust me bro, just look at these three pixels, my cousin said he fucked an ET in the army". If we're going to get proof, though, at this point we're going to need more than video. That window's been shut for a while, thanks to CGI, Photoshop, etc.

It's all B's you couldn't keep it secret with that many people knowing about it.

B's? Hmm, like B- designation aircraft, implying that they're bombers?

Edit: I legit don't understand, and this is my best guess at what this person meant.

Well, since there is an apostrophe we can assume that it's either a contraction or possessive. Being that I'm unaware of the contraction I'm leaning towards possessive, so that means whatever UFOs are belongs to someone or some group named "B." To my knowledge, the organizations that widely go by B are The Boston Bruins hockey team, and The Bloods, a street/prison gang originating in Los Angeles California. Idk what a hockey team will realistically do with UFO tech in a game where flying isn't involved, so my best guess as to the meaning is that the Bloods have really leveled up and the Crips should be worried.

They meant BS but their computer/phone messed it up.

Since you have a big interest, start a community. I don’t think I’ve seen many and I am sure there are many of us who might be lurkers but love the information from individuals like you. I’ll be your first subscriber

I might. I've got a couple other communities I'm already trying to promote ATM. I'll think about it.
