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.

For sure. But most people aren't well known enough to have strangers murder them. If someone wanted to put a bomb in my house they could, I don't have any security or cameras, I don't even lock the door that often. But why would they care?

But yeah, it's wouldn't just be the rich, anyone famous enough to be known and awful (or just unlucky) enough to make someone genuinely wish them dead would be at risk. 'ordinary' people rarely have the power or influence to piss someone off enough to murder them. Although I'm sure the number of mysterious deaths of neighbours and exlovers etc would go up.
