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:
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.
It’s too bad theres no kind of “truth in labeling” enforcement over the term NEWS. Most of the stuff labeled as news these days is actually opinion, or paid advertisements.
The FTC and FCC could probably pay off the national debt in the US just from these fines alone.
I listen to the Up First podcast every morning. Then I see what I see while doom scrolling lemmy. That's pretty much it.
My wife leaves MSNBC on just about all day long, and it's rare she mentions anything I don't already know about.

Exactly. That's it in a nutshell. It's literally an inferior medium of getting news. I'd be careful telling your wife that, though 😉
News 2: electric Boogaloo
Any suggestions?
Get the writers guild together and reform the ap
Why would the writers guild have anything to do with actual news?
Why would writers... have anything to do with writing?
The writers guild is for things like TV shows and movies. Not journalism.
From the WGA site:
Our primary duty is to represent our members in negotiations with film and television producers to ensure the rights of screen, television, and digital media writers.
I found this specific information from 5 minutes in a search engine, you could have too.
I also found this which is probably more like what you intended:
No, I meant the writers guild.
OK, you have a nice day. I'm out.
They haven't even release News 2 yet.
I think that would be a good idea. People clearly prefer to learn the news differently tk how they used to. You might say it's gone through 3 stages
One of my favourite news sources right now is TLDR news. ,aybe stuff like the BBC needs to get their programming more in-line with this, allowing people to select the stories they listen to qnd thus spend less time watching/ listening to the news.
news is gay
The world or are you referring to the news communities of lemmy?
US perspective?
Social Media is the reboot.
Then cancel the franchise.
Ugh, just cancel them and let them die already.
