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 joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

wait, warm? cuddly? can you show me this magical fairy-tale corner of lemmy?

Warm and cuddly until you say something negative bout China or Russia, then they come hauling ass..

I could never understand how you could be attached to china's government that intensely. their government has fully betrayed communism, so extensibly that tech giants with no public control, (control the public instead) are fully formed.

Edit: i forgot my original intent but I do want a discussion and not just a roast of led astray MLs.

And you are correct. Capitalism with beasty grin.

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

LLMs, useful idiots, and a couple effective propagandists overseeing the whole thing.

Or say something in support of conservative American policies. Or say something in support of organized religion.

Putin is a militant pensioner from St. Petesbugrg garages. Fuck Putin.

Well, technically it is not negative about Russia. And I think I've yet not seen trolls from Olgino(or whereever they currently are)
