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.

Man that’s great! I can’t wait to try out your app

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

Looks like a great app but reminds me too much of the official Reddit app

Yes, I started with this layout intentionally to make it easy for those using the Reddit website or app to switch over. There will be a range of themes, colors, and customizability down the road too

When Reddit gives you lemons, don’t make lemmynade. Make Reddit take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these?

Lemmy just throw those right back

What a waste of good lemons. Take their juice and pour them onto... You know what, forget it. I am not giving in to my hate.

It's usually a bad sign if a new social media platform only talks about another one (see bluesky, every other post is about Twitter) but I gotta say, most of the content on here is actually not referencing reddit (ignoring this very post) which I think is a good sign that the community here is flourishing.

I know I get my shit posting and meme fix already through lemmy alone and a bunch of communities have migrated and are frequented enough that I don't feel the need to open reddit anymore (at least at this point).

Totally agree, and I edited my post! I think people will still be able to infer where the lemons came from 😊

Nothing gross about a Lemmy Party 🥳🍋

Someone needs to create /c/puns

Or you could burn life's house down, with the lemons
