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:

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
  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.

I don't mind the posts and the communities, but so many of the users are insufferable.

They poison the well for any cool person who might be registered there.

I'm sorry, I'm new to Lemmy. Thank you for taking the time to check, lol. Time to check them out and see if I'm annoying enough to fit in! 😅

you want nothing to do with these insufferable people.

my instance is federated with them, but I have every single community of theirs I've ever seen blocked now.

Wait, we can instance block nowadays, why going through every community?

Thank you for your concern, honestly. I'll still try and see how insufferable they are, although they asked me about animal liberation and GSM (?) on the application so I have a feeling you're right to warn me, lol.

are you sure it was GSM? thats a cellular network protocol as far as I know
