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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Maybe now that traditional memes are well on the way to being drowned in a sea of low-quality propaganda made by idiots, the cool kids will move on to text posts. (kbin.melroy.org)

You think memes being used for low-effort propaganda is new?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It's not new, but it's come into fashion, so the hipsters don't like it anymore.

Rechecks notes ..... rechecks notes again .... rechecks notes some more ... opens up some binders for more notes ... goes into their filling cabinets for more notes .... reviews their idea board with more notes and pictures ... taps away on a computer to review their online databases ... ????? ....

..... WAIT A MINUTE!!! .... They were never there!!! There are no cool kids!!!

Kilroy was here.

Hell yeah

Edit: alternatively, swapping .wav files of sound clips from sitcoms and sci-fi shows, making a folder directory a sort of rudimentary sound board.

We can go all 1700s on you and meme with bad spellings for obscure meanings.

Like how oll komplete can become OK. But at some point, a really old meme is 'just language'...

Demotivational posters and rage comics
