    Back in my day we watched shows made to sell toys. Some of them, for example TMNT, actually turned out pretty good, but a lot of them do not hold up at all.

    We had to make those stupid paper mache puppet heads and glue cloth to it for our hands and then put on a puppet show while not one single person went off and worked on a good script!

    Kids these days read books about romance and knights, and that sort of frivolous waste of time will corrupt the youth into idleness and vanity. They need to work harder in the field, milk the cows and feed the chickens. A book never yet grew a bushel of wheat.

    people who worry about “kids these days” are invariably the mediocre kids of yesteryear.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
