Showerthoughts

30817 readers
411 users here now

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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

Reddit is so old news.

Your post is the only post talking about Reddit in my feed, because I blocked the other channels. 😅

We need more threads about not talking about that thing that we have been talking about too much.p

[–] navitux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think that's not the same thing at all

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thank you for doing this

[–] stackPeek@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

NGL, this made me miss one Boost for Reddit feature: filter based on keyword

[–] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yuuuup, as soon as boost for Lemmy drops I'll be filtering the word reddit immediately.

I don't mind reading about reddit on the reddit community, but the fact people can't shut up in non related communities annoys me to no end, the circlejerking is insane.

It's like, people go to asklemmy and ask "don't you feel this is so MUCH better than reddit, people are way nicer and have higher IQ", like dude come on.

Also another one is people bashing reddit for no reason, like a post that said that reddit doesn't respect free speech and showed a threat lf deleted comments with no context, as if that was a bad act in itself some people talk about moderation as if it was a bad thing done over in the bad reddit

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

don’t you feel this is so MUCH better than reddit, people are way nicer and have higher IQ

I feel like I bought a Prius 🫤

[–] juansero29@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I need some time to bitch and moan about that toxic relationship OK?

Nah, really, I agree witcha...

[–] jesterraiin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wounds do not heal that rapidly.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

if you want to stop reading about it use the block button liberally. I would recommend blocking mags like RedditMigration. That will relieve you of about 95% of the discussion...

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And I left reddit because it stopped letting me watch porn. Lots of similarities here.

[–] mockingbird@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I dont know if i should follow your advice and keep scrolling or come here and complain about reddit and idk its fun to complain about reddit

okay so if you make the mistake of going on reddit rn (i was trobleshooting a specific issue get off my back) its like a school at night all the lights are off except for some and they're blinding bright if you make the even WORSE mistake of going on r/all its like a noticable shift has happened and also where it used to be significant bots, now its VERY many botposts. its fun if you like chatting with bots!

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Pretty much what I would expect from a redditor on a date.

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So it’s okay for you to bitch and moan about stuff you don’t like, but others aren’t allowed to be upset about Reddit?

I think you may have been letting your frustrations guide your words. End of the day, we all (including you) are allowed to express your frustrations on anything, but you being frustrated with their frustration is only going to spiral out of control. Try something else like going to those threads explicitly and derailing the conversation towards something more positive and constructive.

But we can't cuddle and/or watch Netflix with Lemmy.

[–] NeroAngra@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just ignore the posts then? I don't see what the big deal is. If anything it makes this community stronger having a collective discontent for our previous beloved.

Give it time the conplaining will fade. The same happened with digg

[–] Licensed_to_ill@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree except when it's a matter of malicious compliance on reddit. Fucking up their site with NSFW content and shit posts.

I think those subs still fighting reddit can raise awareness to how shitty reddit had become and convince more people to leave.

People leaving reddit might land them on the fediverse and thus create more content for me to see on here.

It's annoying to see all these posts about reddit. But it's temporary. I'll allow it Señor Chang gif.

It's a form of therapy

[–] schwim@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ironically, you used this sub to talk about Reddit. We left, why don't you move on?

I hope this can just be a hangout with the lads and lasses where we can bitch about anything, including our ex!
