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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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 was mostly joking with my title. I don't know if I'm an asshole. I do possess asshole like traits. I'm deeply against any type of conservatism. Interacting with people drains my energy so I can be glib after a while of hanging out. I'm probably just as sensitive as I am insensitive at times too so I spend a lot of time ruminating things that shouldn't be taken as an offense.
I think in the long run it's just difficult for me to establish a friend because I'm not sure what I want out of the relationship other than just having someone around to shoot the shit with. That means I need to have an interesting take on things but I'm not that interesting.
I think friendships are a give and take and I over give when it's not necessary while also being absent when it's most important. I also dont take ever. Thinking I must be self sufficient in all things.
I don't know. I should probably do better.
