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.

Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.

I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I'm looking for will be able to find it from my post.

I have little to no intention of further referencing that post

How are there only 2 arduino posts in the Arduino Lemmy? Are there no other Lemmys for microcontrollers?

I have no idea. I also thought it was weird but whatever whatever

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !microcontrollers@lemux.minnix.dev

On the old site my username was AmNotSatan, with the premise being that I may not be good but at least I AmNotSatan.

People would constantly accuse me of secretly being Satan all of the time, to which I would invariably reply, Am Not

If more people did that, we'd be cured of the "found a solution in an old post -> solution is deleted" trend which has woefully plagued the web.
