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

Given that we vote for entire comments, we don't expect people to split their comment into many sub-comments. (lemmy.ml)

Interesting. What makes you say that?

Yes exactly. If anyone cares enough about the subject they'll ask you to tell more.

It's a waste of your own time to type out everything you know in advance if no one cares or everyone already knows.

Fair enough. I can see how I could save myself time and effort. However, I've read many long comments in the past that are very interesting. And, considering the 90-9-1 rule, I suppose this happens to other people too.
