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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

I feel inclined to point out that even in the context of Christian myth, God said he would destroy the world again with fire after "Noah's reboot" (actually God's reboot, he just spared Noah), he just said he wouldn't use water next time. This isn't really a shower thought so much as it is a fact of Christian myth. God said he'd return and destroy the world multiple times.

Procrastination is a divine trait, then.

I prefer if you refer to procrastination as "working in mysterious ways". That's what I'll do from now on.

"Why is your work late again!?"

"...exactly. Why, indeed?"
