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.

There's actually conjecture in the Nicole community that Nicole might actually be the victim of bullying or some creepy obsession on the part of the perp.

It's not really awesome at all.

Personally, yes.

We're getting married!

Congratulations, but please don't invite me to the wedding 🙂

I got a real Nigerian scam letter once, by lettermail. I was so proud of it, I showed it to people.

What does “Nicole-ed” mean? I’m curious if it matches the Nicole I know.

She’s everyone’s proud Polish wife from Toronto.

Apparently there’s a vulnerability with sending messages with images in them and “she” might be logging people’s IP addresses through that. I’m under the impression that while the Nicole images are probably all pictures of the same girl, the scammer is not her.

Who is Nicole?
