    If it sounds stupid, it might still be stupid, but how would I even know?

    This is why you try to filter out signifiers of credibility that are just word choices. What’s the actual idea being expressed, and what’s backing it up, that is what to pay attention to.

    If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.

      Disagree. Just because luck saved your ass doesn’t mean what you did wasn’t stupid.

      Winning a round of Russian Roulette doesn’t make you a genius.

        There is actually a difference between luck and something that may just work, despite seeming stupid. Using your example: I have to play Russian roulette today to randomly reduce workers - we removed the firing pin. I have to play Russian roulette tomorrow…

      The original saying is “If it looks stupid but it works it’s not stupid.” There might even be a kernel of truth in there. But to quote the Maxims: “If it is stupid and it works it is still stupid and you’re lucky.”

      Edit: I stand corrected on the first part. I still stand by the Maxims.

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.
