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.

Why does songs from non-English countries have random English words? Can you imagine if English songs randomly have Chinese words? (piefed.ca)

Usually its like just a few words sprinkled in, or at most like one or two lines...

Literally I feel like they're just trying to say: "Hey this is a foreign language I'm sooo cooool!"

Recommendations?

Idk how to even get into listening to English-language music...

Should I spotify? But then again that's corporate... I'd get cancelled here if I start using that...

How are you even supposed to... um... music?

I'm literally just listening to random Cantonese and Mandarin music on Youtube...

The only music I ever had at home was hearing my dad's Cantopop... that's my introduction to music...

(And also just random intrumental music I found online... like beetoven stuff)

So C-Pop is what I know most...

(The only English songs I know are stuff similar to "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson, cuz I just wanted to find songs about the theme of shitty parenting... cuz I had problems with parents and need some songs like that for cartharisis)

I mostly listen to music on Youtube.

Well, that's technically not true. I mostly listen to music in videogames. They basically ALL have some sort of background track. That seems different somehow.

Anyway. When something makes me think of a song, I'll look it up on Youtube and play it, then sometimes listen to other stuff that comes up in the suggestions.

I've looked up artists/groups because of seeing them mentioned here. I like Eleine (not normally a metalhead otherwise).
