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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Perhaps this is a dark thought... but I'm wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to "We did it Reddit!" or "Thanks for the gold kind stranger!" will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it's unavoidable.

“Thanks for the gold kind stranger!”

That line made me cringe everytime I saw it.

Literally was given gold on Apollos goodbye post after I thanks Christian and said fuck u/Spez. I had to edit it and tell people to stop spending money on gold. It defeats the fucking purpose.

It could be leftover credit that people are using up. There's a fair bit of it floating around, giving awards used to give points too so it's hard to say if anyone actually gave them money to give the gold.
