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.

Somewhere down the line we replaced gags and jokes with "relatability" as a stand-in for humor

This is genuinely super awesome and I appreciate you sharing this.

Having said that, I don't understand piefed at all, I thought it was supposed to be like comparable to Lemmy; any idea why can't I find this post to save to my Lemmy? I can't locate it in either !eurographicnovels@piefed.social or your user post history.

Probably because that post they linked was posted by their lemm.ee account, not their piefed.social account. The problem is that lemm.ee shut down; that Lemmy instance no longer exists. That post had federated to piefed.social at some point before lemm.ee shut down, so that is why it shows up there. But that post had not federated to lemmy.zip before then, so you are not able to find it by looking it up there now.

Ah, of course. Thank you!

Ugh, that's sad.

It works on desktop. Are you using an app to hit the Fediverse, perhaps?

I tried to ping you just now from a Monty Python song post.

Did you get that?

Yes, but as I said there, I can reach that community fine, but I can't see the "WEBCOMIX!" post specifically
