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.

Why? My outlet is lower than my phone in almost every instance, so my voted going down towards the charger makes the most sense.

Besides, my IR Blaster, mic, and 3.5mm jack are at the top 😁

What do you have? A Samsung note 4? Wasn't that the last phone that had a ir blaster? *In the USA as far as I know. Of course other countries get better devices than here 😦

is samsung considerd a "western brand"? what does this even mean?

I guess they means non-Chinese/Chinese aligned.

Alternatively, they could mean the ones popular in or marketed to the west.

[–] parzival@lemmy.org 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I basically meant ones that are commonly marketed/sold to the Americas/europe
