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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

It's a form of therapy

[–] shezznazz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I agree, I just joined here from reddit, and would like see communities florish reminiscent to reddit but like you said, we need to move on from an old Ex and see how it goes

I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?

So it’s okay for you to bitch and moan about stuff you don’t like, but others aren’t allowed to be upset about Reddit?

I think you may have been letting your frustrations guide your words. End of the day, we all (including you) are allowed to express your frustrations on anything, but you being frustrated with their frustration is only going to spiral out of control. Try something else like going to those threads explicitly and derailing the conversation towards something more positive and constructive.

And the ex is also the waiter.

People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.

I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Well you are not wrong!

[–] Mkultron@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I couldn't agree more.

[–] schwim@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ironically, you used this sub to talk about Reddit. We left, why don't you move on?

I enjoy the sarcasm though.

[–] SparKo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

But thanks to reddit most of us are here, so it will take bit of time to forget it

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

If reddit was that important to whomever they should probably talk to someone about it.

[–] emperorofmars@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!

[–] MavTheHack@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Technically complaing about others talking about reddit. Is still talking about reddit with extra steps

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Eh, it’s more like going out with the guys then complaining about your ex. And incidentally, you’ve all had a ride one that particular crazy coaster so you can sympathize.

[–] LucidLethargy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hi, I'm here to complain about people complaining about other people who are complaining about Reddit.

I'm tired of reading about this. We must do something, Lemmy!

[–] DivineJustice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

I'd like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people complaining. It's about time something was done about it!

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

"To bitch about it?" Yes, I'm not a fan of the echo chamber of people's feelings toward Reddit; but it's still a situation that's going on, so I'd like updates and conversation surround that.

Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about

[–] JehovasThickness@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I haven't really looked at anything else.

[–] xigbar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo
