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.

I'm sure it'll be worse after Trump. He's an idiot. Imagine someone with the same agenda, but actually smart and subtle.
Yeah I mean project 2025 is not his thing, it's the heritage foundation's thing they've been scheming for years.
He might be an idiot, but he's a useful idiot. I get the feeling there are smart people at play, just using trump as a puppet more or less.
Edit: I guess my point being, yeah it can always get worse, but i feel like we're already pretty far along in terms of how bad politicians can be. The way it gets worse after this i think is them gaining more and more control over the government.
