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

Bean shitposts becoming popular across the entire Fediverse in just an hour is a live demonstration of how effective decentralization and federation protocols are. (lemmy.world)

Yes. Federated sites have a lot more going on under the hood, yet this bean craze was able to spread across all instances in the fediverse without lag or other hiccups. We were all in on the joke as if we were on a non-federated site.
