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

I'm trying to not spend too much of my time online and I'm going kinda successful on that. But I can't say the same about living without smartphone. I need it to study through PDFs and reading EPUB books. I'm 31 years old, so I picked a tiny part of the "pre terminally online era" during my childhood. However, I've became a sort of internet addict in my teens. I should be avoided it, but it's a bit to late. Can't fix the past, but I can fix my future.
