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

This is it for me. The Pavlovian posting and upvoting of shitty jokes in every. single. thread. I haven't bothered with reddit's comment section in years because of it. Here, the comments so far seem chill and appropriate for the posts.
The Narwhal bacons at midnight, fellow hydrohomie
I too choose this man's hydrohomie
I hated this one the most
The same shitty jokes at that, over and over and over again.
That's the other thing, people wouldn't do that if it didn't get them karma every single time. Karma isn't publicly displayed on Lemmy, and if the vision of very spread out communities comes to fruition it also just wouldn't make sense anyway.
Yes, I hope Karma won't be as prominent as on reddit, limiting jokes to those that are appropriate.
