Showerthoughts

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.

There's no such thing as a psychic, only charlatans claiming to be.

Ah, but if psychics were real, you'd probably never know. I certainly wouldn't let on if I had psychic powers. I'd be afraid that the government wouldn't try and kill or enslave me. Plus, a real psychic would know exactly who was dumb enough to get conned by them without them getting in trouble.

That's a hypothetical with no basis in reality.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or worse. People who have fooled themselves into genuinely believing that they are psychics

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That doesn't change the fact that they're charlatans.

Are you telling me that Crossing Over was bullshit ?

John Edwards is the biggest douche in the universe.

I have no idea what that is, but yes.
