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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

We know its you Mark. Stop it.
Oh no. I won't be part of The Zuck's EEE plan. How terrible. /sarcasm
It's okay if you really really want to use Threads. You don't have to feel insulted by those of us who want nothing to do with it, and you definitely don't need to fantasize about anyone complaining or whatever.
Make an account. Use Threads buddy, have fun!
You know, we can always just re-federate any time we want, right? We can flip back and forth endlessly if we feel like it. May as well start with a protectionist stance until we have a better idea of what we're dealing with.
Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?
No
I should have guessed this would be a very unpopular opinion. Still think this is true.
Never used Instagram and barely ever FB. Never used twitter much anyway and a breed of Twitter and Meta seems like something I would never want anyway.
It seems people get some ego boost in saying: "We will not accept Threads in the fediverse". But since they have not even attempted yet and have such a massive success, because they'll probably dark pattern Instagram users into becoming threads users, they never need to consider using it anyway.
Please make your last sentence readable
Maybe it won’t be the same people, but I’m sure some people will complain because they were expecting to be able to interact with their irl friends and family from their mastodon accounts.
