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

Some politicians as well

This implies that the bones are elsewhere, forming a gang of spooky scary skeletons.

Which begs the wake and bake question: Do they become separate entities? Like, do the spooky scary skeleton and the ghost of the person it came from haunt people separately?

Ghosts hold grudges while skeletons just wanted to focus on spooky business
