Showerthoughts

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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

I'm so tired of seeing people talk about this guy here.

Reddit is like the ex they cant get over. Lemmy is reddit now.

There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It's just the Circle of Life.

It was a lot like a proto reddit. They made a bunch of changes to monetize and there was a mass exodus to reddit

15 years ago it was THE place to mindlessly scroll and see cool tech articles and other things. Before they got greedy.

Oh that I wish it were. Lemmy is improving, but it does not even approach the quantity and diversity of content Reddit has.

I'm finding it better. Yeah, there's less content and diversity, but the quality feels a lot better. I'm interested in a much larger share of the posts I see.

Same. I sort Lemmy by new and like most of the posts. On reddit, new is all AskReddit drivel.
