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.

Some people just like to watch the world burn. Had a friend that would park next to people out in BFE. I asked them “why” and he said “no real reason, I just like pissing them off”… not really friends with him anymore.
I have a friend like this too. Except he intentionally slows down when a car comes up tona side street on the passenger side and says "hit us! Gimme that cheque!"
I told him the last time he did that shit "if we EVER het into an accident i am using any money ibreceive to fucking sue your dumbass for putting us in danger."
Doesn't do that anymore, but does enough other toxic shit for me to cut him out after this lease is up.
Are you roommates or is this some new rent-a-friend gig economy dystopia I don't know about?
We're supposed to be best friends, and we decided to move in together BUUUUUUUT he's done literally everything he can to prove he's selfish.
And when he's called out on it he will Deny he did anything, Deflect and say I'm the one that's overreacting and then if i stand my ground he whispers an apology at a volume where i cannot hear him even though he's within arm's reach.
No lie.
We had a talk where i told him rooming with people is difficult because in every situation I've been in the roommates have always been antagonistic and selfish. Told him all the things past roommates have done that crippled the living situation and he he has done all of it. But it's supposed to be okay as long as he claims "it was a joke" or "we're bffs I'd never do anything to hurt you."
Edit: i know you're making a joke but some of us can't survive without a roommate to split bills with because not every job pays enough, and they basically laugh when we ask for a raise. I worked at a retail store 2 years ago that gasped when i told them 4-8hrs of work a week isn't enough for anything.
Sorry, I didn't mean to joke about your situation.
I've had my share of sketchy roomies.
That person sounds like a terrible match.
It's fine. I'll be forced to figure something out or become homeless. Yay being a millennial!
