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 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.

Mine just thinks it’s a continuation of the same thing they haven’t really been listening to for the past 30 years.

My partner is also a lemming! Problem solved :)

She only followed movies/TV shows and skincare communities on Reddit, until they pick up here I will have another talk about Fediverse with here (or maybe before that).

I keep trying to get my husband to stop checking Reddit and sign up for an alternative and in the meantime I'm sending as many awesome posts from them as I can 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I know he will reconsider sometime.

My husband finally joined reddit after me talking about it to him for years. Then like a week later i informed him that reddit sucks now and there's this new thing he should check out...

Bad timing my friend.

I'm the one that was annoyed 😂 but he didn't have a Reddit addiction like me so I'm the one that's here now instead of him

I just brought Lemmy up at the BBQ I went to last night. One person was interested! The rest looked at me like I had three heads though...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Most of my mates don't even understand Reddit, I'm not going to waste my energy trying to explain Lemmy / the fediverse to them.

A friend of mine think is a cult and I'm a voicer... She is cool with that though.

My other has been out of town, and wait until she sees what replaced the reddit doomscroll.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I feel bad for her (not in the slightest).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Like with myself, she's learned to ignore unrecognized input as long as it sounds generally positive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yup, this is me. She will probably eventually migrate over once the things she's following are on here as well. It'll be a matter of time I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah the interest my wife and friends have shown in lemmy when I bring it up is zero lol oh well.

Waiting for native apps to arrive and then I would recommend joining

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Native apps? We already have many good ones.
