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

that is possibly the best compliment I've been given in ages, it's just a simple, fun playground and basically my social media replacement (just without the annoying audience :)

I was just going to check it out again to get some inspiration but it looks like it's blocked?

I threw some filtering on it just to be extra safe and wound up blocking everything but the US. Did get a small uptick on bot traffic when I posted a link so might have overdone the security a little.

Guessing you are from one of the countries in hat showed up in the filter logs. I’ll do some selective unblocking.

EDIT- been selectively unblocking as I see them. I'm extra paranoid but also always learning.
