Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

The downside of everything being federated is that it's really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

Dear CEO of antifa, I'm the CEO of the NSA. How do you pronounce "antifa"? We've been really struggling in our meetings. Best regards.

Dear CEO of NSA,

it’s pronounced Elon Musk is a domestic terrorist.

Best regards, Founding members of Antifa

Its shorthand for “antifascism”. You pronounce it the same without the “scism”. As head of NSA you should know how to say fascism pretty well I think.

I didn’t realize there were alternate pronunciations. Is this like gif level arguments at the NSA meetings?

What are the pronunciations?
