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 didn't know something like that existed, I usually use a service as cloudhiker to explore interesting web pages, but I don't like the ads and the redirecting, so I am currently I am searching for alternatives.

del.icio.us back in the early 2000s before it was bought by (i think yahoo) was amazing.

nothing as good as del.icio.us.

pocket is decent but the tagging system is kind of basic in terms of remembering what you tagged before and reusing them. the tagging system in firefox (and the ability to drag tags to your toolbar) is ok but yeah nothing as good as del.icio.us

I understand, I think I will stick with my old system. Thanks for the info
