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: 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.

"ne" presses enter for netflix.com

"l" presses enter for lemmy.world

Auto completing urls are so fast.

I accidentally used chrome the other day.

Tried to go to Gmail with "gm" enter.

No autocomplete, just a Google search.

Almost went to the General Motors website.

Even better, save specific search engines with shortcut codes: type 'w' + , start typing to search on Wikipedia.

It’s a level of hell to watch other people continue to type out the full URL while the auto complete is already there, until they make that one typo towards the end and hit enter before you had a chance to tell them.

Truth, but it's three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!

Idk dude, I feel like there is more wrist movement involved in mouse control than typing.

I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.

All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI ... when half the fields still require typing information in.

I still find myself tabbing while signing in but it almost never works.

Unless you're like me with folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders of bookmarks. Sometimes it's easier to just search. It would be great if I can do a search within my bookmarks!

Firefox can search your bookmarks. I'd be surprised if another browser couldn't, but it probably isn't as easy as just using the address bar

I was only joking but you're right, this is already a thing, for Chrome too. TIL.

For any Chrome users here, type @bookmarks before your search in the address bar.
