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.

Make our brains FOSS! Why can't I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!

I own my brain because I'm human. Other animal brains, (whale, deer, cow, grasshopper, bird) are not owned by themselves, perhaps animals are simply incapable of comprehending our level of organization. That's why we can make their decisions for them.

/s

Sorry it's just absolutely bizarre to me to think of a part of your body having different ownership than the other parts. Too atomistic. Are we renting out the space in our heads? If so, shouldn't that be mitigated to prevent unnecessary damage?

I feel like Chicken Tonight like Chicken Tonight!

Which half are you? Each half of your brain is a separate entity.

Since you're producing words you're probably the left half of your brain.

It's called NeuroSurgery (in a way)

You absolutely can. What really helps is to stop using any kind of digital devices about 2h before you intend to sleep, then workout for a bit, and chase that down with some meditation. Focused breathing exercises are enough, no need to go full guru.

Afterwards take a shower, go go bed, and read a book. You'll have to force yourself to make it through the current chapter, guaranteed.

you can pay an expert for some upgrades, but they generally don't do them unless something broke.
