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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"hey, is that a brand name? Here's 9 sketchy looking shopping sites selling things that have that brand name on them"

I installed the extension that removes Pinterest from searches.... it's great.

Which one are you using? I use unpinterested but its not open source and I want to add a few more sites to auto-exclude.

Those two sites are absolute skid marks.
