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.

Today could be one of those boring ol' happy days I might one day randomly reminisce about in the future. (lemmy.world)

Sometimes my brain hits me with the most mundane memories, and even those bring comfort & nostalgia at times. Trying to appreciate all the little things and enjoy the moment.

Friend, you're 20. The concept of "potential" being "wasted" at this point in your life is non existent. You're still right at the start of the journey. Don't dwell on what you think you might have missed yesterday. Make a plan for tomorrow.

I agree with your statement, @crummysocks is 20 and at the start of a long journey, but it does not feel that way to him, it didn't to me in my 20s either.

Honestly, the oldest I ever felt (feeling that time was slipping away) was 25 and that was last century. It took me to 30 to realise life was just beginning.
