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

To add to that: I think it's actually worthwhile to write longer texts here compared to reddit because of two reasons: 1) people here want Lemmy to succeed so they put more time and effort in to get things going, and 2) it's more likely for that text to be seen by others because there aren't 2.000 other commenters but maybe 20.
My only concern is that Google doesn't seem to be indexing lemmy pages. So even if we add content that might be helpful it is not getting any screentime.
To add to that, searching isn't as simple as "best laptops reddit" if the knowledge is spread across the fediverse. That's something I'd be interested to see
That seems like a problem that search providers will have a strong incentive to solve from their end as and when finding those fediverse results becomes essential.
