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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.
LMAO, yeah this one didnt seem to hit did it
I think that's not quite right, but it's certainly an interesting take.
Yeah, thinking about it more, the similarities are kind of narrow.
You could make a better comparison with a regular crowd, but then it wouldn't feel like much of a showerthought at that point because it's just observing that the crowd has moved online.
Laugh tracks might be used to improve there ratings of a show, but with memes there's not really a show and no one's forcing a laugh
I think the essence of what I was thinking of though is that just like a regular crowd, an online crowd can still influence you to think something is funnier or better than you would alone (at least for me)
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
I didn't know how to react at first, but once you got over 20 upvotes, it all made sense.
So in the future those upvotes will have deceased people.
So... downvotes function like boos?
Asking for some.
