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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

It’s a tale as old as time:

you do something and number go up? Dopamine

you do something and number go down? nopeamine

if you get too much of something fun, it stops being fun after a while. same as with drugs.. after a while, the same dosis isn't having the same high anymore as the first time.

Very true. Moderation and responsible use with drugs is key.

Number go up will never stop feeling good hahaha
