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.

The term "breadcrumb-navigation" makes no sense. (feddit.org)

Okay so this kind of navigation:

Home > Sports > Football > BVB

Is called "breadcrumbs", because, like with Hänsel & Gretel in the old Grimms' Fairy Tales strewing breadcrumbs on their way into the forest, to be able to find the way back, it can help you navigate your way back home.

But Hänsel & Gretel only found their way back, when they used white pebbles... the day they used breadcrumbs, birds ate the crumbs and so the siblings get lost in the woods until they find the witches cottage.

Breadcrumbs is how you DON'T successfully navigate your way back. Breadcrumbs is how you fall into the hands of some grubby old cannibal lady.

Incidentally, it works the same way with the bible.

No way! I totally would of noticed if the Bible had a freaky old cannibal lady who lived in the forest!

Now I'm trying to remember if the Bible even has any forests...
