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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Pretending you're blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.

I'm not pretending, I'm just old. :) Not interested in any of that. You probably realize that there is an age when you just stop caring about all that shit. If not, you will see for yourself later in life.
