Some people here have a really huge effect. Guys like Stamets, The Picard Maneuver, and MicroWave, I see their posts all the time.
Showerthoughts
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.
I also like that Lemmy has a displayname field separate from the username and it allows you to make it cooler than just boring plain text. 😏
Some people actually use the tag feature so that they remember users when they see them again lol
Also because it allows anyone to easily stalk all your comments for some reason. Creepy.
I wanna be stalked! Someone, start stalking me right now!
I NEVER NOTICED YOUR USERNAME, BUT RECOGNIZE YOUR PROFILE PIC MF'ER! I'MA CRANK MY HOG AND GET IT WARMED UP TO START STALKING YOU RIGHT NOW BROTHER! AROOOOOOO!!!
