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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I’ve gone on total media blackout, it was destroying my mental health. I even deleted the news widgets on my phone. I have two exceptions:

  • Lemmy, but I have a very curated list of communities I follow. No “news”, no politics.
  • I follow RSS feeds from sites/people I like. For example, Cory Doctorow, Electrek, Kottke, Daring Fireball.

Through this, I eventually learn about the “important” stuff, but it’s not in my face at all times, baiting for clicks and inducing rage.

Taking back the internet one blocked community at a time. This is the way.
