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

  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
  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 don't think conservatism is about being rational it's about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.

Conservatism is about making it illegal for the rest of the world to exist in a manner other than the one that you personally want it to.

I feel like you don't actually know that and it's just your opinion.

Tbh, I've heard more y'alls in the San Francisco Bay Area than in Texas (I've live din both). Granted I lived in an immigrant-heavy place in Texas that I didn't even live in for that long.

I am a Yankee from a state with a Canadian border.

I started saying y'all because it's ungendered!

I'm Texan. I say y'all quite often. Subconsciously. But when I think about it, it always seems weird. Like if I TRY to use it then it always seems wrong.

And now we wait for the inevitable "th'all", just to distinguish from the ever more popular singular they
