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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.
And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.
A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..
Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.
A boobs/celeb/shoes button
A religion button.
People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.
Porn/Comics/TV Series are popular. They’re just variants of those, not really that hard to understand.
I get that, but like the things I mentioned, most porn/comics/TV is boring, predictable, generic crap and a waste of time and brain cells. So, I don't understand why most porn/comics/TV is popular either. Absolute garbage! I can think of a thousand things I'd rather be doing than sifting through all that generic crap.
Well, then you just watch the good ones. It’s been ages since TV Shows (and anime) got popular, there’s stuff like Breaking Bad or Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood that are tried and tested and almost everyone likes. There’s personal taste too, sure, but I think it’s hard to find someone that doesn’t like a single genre that has at least 3/4 classic acclaimed shows.
