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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
On one hand downvotes are an expression of negativity, but on the other hand downvotes are an outlet for negativity.
Meanwhile, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why a bunch of the top comments here got like one downvote each, lol.
Haha you know I’ve seen that too and I can’t recall if this was the case on Reddit in the early days before they started fucking around with scoring.
