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 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.

.... Maps?
Plat maps, land use maps, survey maps....etc can date to the early 1900's and late 1800's. Preserved & converted to digital form for country-side USGIS visualizations and mapping.
Or architectural blueprints, or sewer/water line diagrams/maps. Electrical & communication lines are approaching that age. Transportation infrastructure and diagrams.
We reference documents & technical knowledge that's 30-50 years old, sometimes 70-80 years old right now in our industry. Mathematics knowledge that's well over 100 years old.
There are countless examples of important things that are as old as the industry itself.
It's essentially guaranteed that we will be referencing technical documentation and design and knowledge that is over 100 years old once this industry is old enough.
