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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
I've always thought that we do it because it's safer than firing guns into the air.
Or maybe fireworks were invented by people who hate their neighbors' pets.
And to be fair, both options are safer than just walking around with a torch igniting buildings and people.
Yes but burning mansions to the ground is also an American tradition.
Burninating all the people!
in their THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!!
