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
I mean, email was text or richtext. Occasionally a 35 kB gif that you'd laugh at and then delete.
Part of the issue was that Hotmail was completely inept at blocking spam, which had lots of text and images. I ran out of space daily
I completely forgot that there was almost no spam filtering back then. It was awful. I takey smart machine learning spam filters for granted.
