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.

And here I am laughing on my speedy private instance. For real, the best part of Lemmy is if your experience is bad you can hop to a different instance and not miss a post

[–] Kristof12@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Like the good old times

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Anything to make you feel at home 🥰

I forgive it. It has tremendous potential

This is definitely going to be fun!

[–] wwaxwork@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah but these guys aren't trying to make a profit from us and Reddit had venture capital money.

For those of you who, like me, are coming from Apollo you guys can try wefwef.app. It’s great

[–] ShrimpsIsBugs@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's a nice app, but I'm really wondering who came up with that name and why. That's not how you name something if you want it to be successful.

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.w.on-t.work 4 points 2 years ago

Perhaps they're not trying to "be successful"?

That depends on the instance you’re on.

This is all I want. Just text, nothing more. Just like reddit.compact version that they took away.

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try lemm.ee instance. It is REALLY fast compared to lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. And it is also general instance, not some theme-specific.

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

To be fair, lemm.ee has an entire order of magnitude less monthly users than world. I think it's at the perfect size, actually.
