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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don't think that's the problem. I think it's mostly because it still has way less people (easier to mod), and also it doesn't show user karma, so there's no incentive to karma farm.
Karma is so pointless and I've never understood why you'd 'farm' it
They want to put that on their resume lol. like stackloverflow. Dear employer, look how many upvotes I got on this 15 year old meme!
