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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

I'm guessing you haven't driven I-4 in Florida. Rated multiple times as the most dangerous stretch of highway in the US. People just change lanes without indicating or even looking. It's crazy.

The most frustrating drivers I've ever encountered, however, were in the Northern Virginia/DC area. So much entitlement. People stopping their cars in all sorts of places where you're not supposed to, putting their hazards on as though that makes parking anywhere legal. Driving aggressively. Just generally entitled, crappy drivers (maybe because the population is so heavily made up of immigrants from countries with different rules--just a guess).
I've been through most of the US at this point and lived in a handful of states. Those two are the worst. LA sucks, too, but that's mostly because of traffic.
I-4 was much easier to drive for me than I-95 in Miami. I have never seen worse drivers.
Yup I4 is bad but Miami is brutal. In Miami a turn signal is a .25 second warning to get out of the way. (Lifelong central Florida resident)
