    The creative thinking, storytelling and people skills you practice from playing DnD with friends will serve you far better in the apocalypse than a stocked bunker irrespective of how long you survive

    There's a lot to be known about me by knowing who my exes are, what my favorite songs are to sing in the car, and my fast food orders.

    One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.

    So many bands emphatically demonstrate that successful communication is not about what you say, but how you say it

    Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.

      You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world

      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.
