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 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.

Let's be real, kids don't care about/understand what the API changes are and are on the TikTok

But that isn't realistic? There's a minority of techy kids who understand and care about the API changes

Those kids would be fine here. It's the "dumb" people that probably sit thru 5 minutes of Youtube ads or Twitch ads. It blows me away how many people put up with that stuff, and think it's normal.

I don't really think its even kids. I think its 'adults' that have only joined the internet since Facebook dragged them online via their phones in the mid 2010s.. The techy people are normally pretty chill. Old Reddit was full of nerds, and it was pretty nice

Im blaming cell phones for ruining the internet. It sure as fuck has hurt the gaming community
