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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I went back by accident by following a search result, and was still logged in. Had a notification. It was a reply to a comment I'd made about a month prior, asking a question. In the comment I even attempted to clarify that it was a genuine question with no judgement attached, and I got a couple answers at the time.
Anyway, found myself back on Reddit with this belated comment reply. The person went on a whole rant related to my question, didn't answer it of course, but just went off on one accusing me of nefarious motives.
It's weird to think back on how stressful it was to interact over there for fear of being misinterpreted and drawing out the crazies. If something like that happens here I just block them and go on with my day safe in the knowledge that the nice folks have them massively outnumbered. And hence my nearly 2000 comments here over two accounts in the space of about six weeks...oh my.
Man I remember the same thing. I mentioned that my cats deworming pills are relatively expensive (as in expensive for a simple mass produced pill) and some person went on a rant how there are so many animals that are disregarded by their owners and what not. It’s strange.
