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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Insulted? Vines videos were mostly portrait. 2013-2014 were most-likely its hay day. Vines is dead now, but cell phone videos in portrait were posted to Vines a lot.
Now if you mean music videos or cinema, yeah, portrait would be odd.
Heyday is what you mean, I think.
Vine was started in early 2013 and in mid to late 2012, this video was popular: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dechvhb0Meo
That's about six months of true vertical video hate before the war was lost.
