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.

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

The day we start seeing relationship-drama posts and random TikTok videos provoking a 100% reaction, that's the day Lemmy becomes shit. IMO, videos should not be even allowed here.

Retweet

Or should I say, Rethread

I agree, and I'm cutting down on it as much as I can.

I'm sure the same kind of bitchin' was going on reddit after digg exodus.

Fucking hell I couldn't agree more with this post. So many people on here sound like they want to have won the breakup. Lemmy shouldn't just be "the place that's better than reddit", that's not much of an identity. I'm not interested in this place just being the Canada to Reddit's USA.

There is communities, and there ppl talk about what they want. While ppl do not spam off-topic about reddit everything is great.

Yes please, I don't care for that place and I'm not interested in what's going on either. Unless they are going bankrupt and closing down I'm avoiding those threads.

I had literally the exact same thought the other day. Pretty much every single thread on my front page was bitching about reddit in some way shape or form. Ugh
