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

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
Posts must be original/unique
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'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

I'd love a fediverse-wide tagging system for various kinds of NSFW (porn, gore, death...), Sports (ideally also by discipline), Anime, Music (again, with genres), Gaming etc. to hand-pick what I absolutely don't want to see.

On some Mastodon clients you can block hashtags, and on Lemmy you can block communities, so we're already pretty close. To do more would require a lot of self-tagging of posts and not everyone will do that. Or it would require analytics and automatic tagging that may not be accurate and would theoretically be a privacy nightmare.

I can never rely on people to self-tag posts. But tagging communities would be much more manageable and helpful.

Maybe communities should come with default tags. That would make it a lot easier.

And with apps we can filter text.

Do it like AO3 and enforce only about a dozen mandatory tags, and allow 'choose not to tag' tag if you don't want to tag, and you can choose to filter out the choose not to tag content..
