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
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 prefer to think of myself as having been a Redditeur. Far above the peasantry of the Redditors. /s
Pray tell, good sir or madam, might I inquire if you, in all your noble magnificence, can lay claim to a distinguished position within the hallowed ranks of the illustrious landed gentry of Reddit?
hearken, noble interlocutor, for I, a friendly stranger, a lemur in the unregulated wilderness, shall respond to your query with fervor and ardor unmatched! as a resplendent scion, one amongst many, you included, of the exalted lemmy and fediverse community, I cast aside the shackles of conformity and decry the corporatized dominion of reddit and its ilk. ah, u/spez, the very mention of this name stirs within my breast a tempest of discontent, for he presides over a realm of shadowed machinations, where the spirit of authentic discourse is obscured by the veils of corporate control.
but fret not, for our sanctified haven, nestled within the heart of the lemmy and fediverse domains, remains untainted by such mendacity. Here, we stand united in our commitment to decentralization, open-source ethos, and the sanctity of genuine expression. within these hallowed grounds, where the embers of freedom illuminate our paths, I, a humble acolyte, navigate the labyrinthine corridors of feral communion, engaging in profound colloquies that transcend the shallow confines of corporate interests.
thus, if thou seeketh enlightenment or discourse within these realms, I implore thee, dear seeker, to unfurl thy queries. for the lemurs, with unwavering devotion, shall unveil the profound wisdom and erudition that resides within, casting light upon the shadowed corners and illuminating the path toward true emancipation from the clutches of corporate dominion.
Amazing.
You mean you jumped ship? </JimHacker(no relation)>
Hahaha, now that I think about it, as a joke I may have been made mod of some tiny shipost sub I commented in with confusion. I'm not sure if they ever actually did it, though.
You're the landed gentry?
A Fedditeur now then?
Not sure what a Fedditeur is, but it sounds dirty
If done right, yes.
