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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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 actually use a dice (D6, 50:50 choice usually) to decide between two options sometimes.
The idea is to fool my brain into revealing what it really wants. Like, if I can't decide, I'll assign each choice odds or evens, then roll.
If I'm OK with the result, then it decided for me no problem. Maybe I didn't care, maybe I preferred what I rolled.
If I don't like it, then RNG just showed me what I really wanted – now I can go with the other option.
Reduces decision fatigue, and speeds up my life. I've been teaching it to my kids (although their favourite RNG is the Chwazi app.)
