    Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.

      Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.

        At least epic and fail are actual words.

          What constitutes an “actual word”?

            A word that isn’t a direct code for another word is what I meant.

      Can’t speak for anywhere but where I’ve lived, but I’ve heard groovy on the US west coast pretty recently, though not regularly. There was a niche little clique of geeks out in east Texas that’d say it pretty regularly some years ago though. Hippie activist/tabletop enthusiast type vibe, that group. Good people. Groovy, even.

        Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.

          Then we may have met before. I’d rather not be identified on this account, so I’ll just text some of the old gang, and if you’re on the list, you’re on the list lol

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.
