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

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

Edit: you just have to be selective at your victim or do mass shooting.

Astroturfing your own relevance has got to be easier than planning a noteworthy murder.

Murder is relatively easy. Avoiding the consequences is not.

The consequences are a prerequisite to get "your own" page, I'd argue. I'd say it only counts as "yours" if you're identified, the page for say The Zodiac or D.B. Cooper it isn't "yours," it belongs to the named entity as an idea, until linked with "your" identity.
