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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Enjoy your life and vote for the future you want. Can't ask for much more from the average citizen.
I live by the boyscouts rule. Leave this place a little cleaner than when you came here.
Seriously. Some of the things that philosophy does is get you to focus on things that are local so you can see the change, and things you can do something about. Now the world is a better place because you looked at the places you were and did something that is possible for you to do. We should all do this
It’s also a matter of making the right choices. At a small local level it’s easier to know what is right and what is wrong.
Excellent rule to live by! Lots of people doing little things makes big changes. It's always worth doing the little things!
The average citizen can do their best to be the best person they can be, to have clean healthy relationships with those around them.
