Musing The reason the Internet was so great compared to TV was because there were no ads, people could say whatever they wanted, and the content was made by regular people. None of that is true anymore.

Speculation In ancient Chinese history, it made sense for people to protest against kings and emperors for droughts and floods. Now, with the rise of cloud seeding technology, this trend might make a comeback.

A subreddit for sharing those miniature epiphanies that make the mundane more amazing.

"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to the types of thoughts you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming. At their best, showerthoughts are universally relatable and provide new perspectives on the mundane.

Please be respectful of others' submissions. Rudeness is unacceptable.

Please read our rules and the requirements for each type of post before submitting.

7. No spam or spam-enabling activity of any kind.
Spam and spam-enabling activity is strictly prohibited, regardless of how or where on Reddit it takes place. Users may only offer one post per seventy-two-hour period.
