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.

What a godawful shitty take

People who think bagels are boring have little imagination.

Edit: thanks for the downvote

Wrong community.

Try Unpopular Opinions, or Shit Takes

Take a nice doughy everything bagel from a place with bagel in the name. Cut it in half, toast it, Fry a couple slices of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese and throw them in, a couple of strips of bacon lettuce and very finely sliced tomato. Salt and pepper, maybe light mayo.

IMO, The best donut in existence has nothing on that.

That’s right up there with “Cake is bread for poors”

You forgot to add "Marie Antoinette" 😆

Downvoting won't go into negative numbers? TIL.

Edit: Sheesh, everyone piles on the downvotes but I get downvoted for mentioning it?

Sync ATM. Is it showing up differently in other apps?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jerboa allows the option to see them. Have you checked your settings?

Ha, I'm on https://alexandrite.app/ via desktop browser now and it's showing up (oof, poor guy). Not seeing that specific setting in Sync. Maybe I'll play around with Jerboa again. Thanks for the suggestion!
