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

Glad you're feeling better! Check out futureme.org to send emails to the future. I believe whichever email address you send to needs to confirm that it's ok, but then you can send emails years into the future. I've been using it since 2010 or so and trying to write a letter to myself every year that I'll receive on my 50th bday. Sometimes my wife and I also write each other one too.
In their FAQ nothing is sent to the recepient until the letter is sent. This seems like such a great service until you realize email providers, and addresses aren't permanent.
I've been with my husband 20+ years, I had 10+ email addresses when we met, and so did he. I love the idea, but wish there was a non-digital option for these things.
Digitally, if we could register a non-first-level domain for 40-50 years we could set up our own family email severs, with scheduled messages.
