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.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

That's kind of how this whole thing is supposed to work though, so yeah, it's a legit concern. And in this example, since the thing they don't want to see is so massively popular, it's everywhere.

Imagine how annoyed you would be seeing something you can't stand everywhere you go, and dozens of times on a site you thought you could avoid it at.

I don't care much seeing a random post that I don't care about, but when it's content that I fucking hate, I look for ways to not have to put up with it when possible, unless it becomes more work than just scrolling past it.
