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.

Those people would pay for ad-free. Edit: according to OP's logic.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

No they wouldn't. I'm of those people. I don't pay for ad free.

Some would, but it always surprises me to see how many people don't appear to be bothered by ads.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

people have the ability to tune things out. ads never bother me.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The thing with ads is, even if they dont consciously bother you, they still rot your brain.

Exactly.

Annoy you into paying.

It would be funny if all of the ads are for fake products, and just meant to be as annoying as possible to push people into subscriptions. That would explain all the poorly-acted piano lesson app ads.
