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.

No, that’s google. A leaked memo indicates that they deliberately made search worse so people would have to search twice and see twice the number of ads

AI companies lose money every time someone uses it. Even those that charge per-token

I refuse to use a computer or browser without ublock origin. No fucking way I'm accepting that poisonous shit they call ads.

I've been on Firefox for the last year where it does work. I don't use chrome anymore.

I also host a pihole at home blocking stuff too.

Pretty amazing what PiHole reveals. My work laptop constantly chatters with sites all over the world, it's the biggest source of DNS lookup in my home network while it's on, and it's competing with six people browsing the web for their various purposes...
