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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Really? To me, it's unfair to characterize mildlyinfuriating as an agitation community that spreads negativity. I enjoy browsing there because it's a place to bond over shared frustration and humor.
I think subs like publicfreakout were definitely a better example of agitation. Had to filter that shit out.
Public freakout was more agitation but even then it was like people can be so stupid or it was genuine content about people being treated unfairly that was creating some awareness.
For me the genuine agitation things were the ragebait stuff like 5 minutes hacks/crafts and posting blatantly wrong or reprehensible takes to generate negative engagement like a lot of content on AITA.
