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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I think it's a night and day difference, I can actually post stuff here without getting attacked over some triviality.
I believe its mostly a product of the much smaller community. I think more negativity may creep in as popularity increases.
Anyway, yeah, have an upvote.
I feel the same. I wasn’t worrried about this post getting tons of downvotes for no reason, but I would have avoided posting it on reddit.
omg omg two spaces after a "." unacceptable. My disapointment is immesurable and quite frankly my day is ruined. /s (I know that it can be old-school formality, and honestly I don't really care, just jokin')
I find that, for no apparent reason, I keep getting those double spaces after periods, but only when on lemmy, and only on my phone, meaning somehow lemmy breaks my autocorrect
Fix your run-on sentence, yo
Triviality :)
