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.

I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia. (sh.itjust.works)

Context: My "hardware" was "made in China" (I was born in China)

Okay sorry stupid joke, but I remember having a conversation about global manufacturing and how everything is "made in China" then my mom was like: "You are also made in China" lmfao

(But seriously tho, it's just depression, can't sleep, hence this showerthought)

I still remember when I first got here, I remember the jetlag. It's almost exactly 12 hours apart, literally just flipping day and night. I remember my brain getting so confused the first couple weeks.

But(t) that should be done carefully, as if one puts the battery with inverted poles may stay awake all night long.
