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-----

Compared to fountain pens and ballpoints, "Sharpies" are actually the least sharp pen type. (lemmy.world)

Just because you wouldn't use a Sharpie in those instances doesn't mean it's not a pen. It has other uses. Writing a sign for a shop window, creating a poster by hand, or creating a protest sign. It's used basically anywhere where the text needs to be large, clear, and visible from a distance.
