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

Does the bot used the API to send the message? In that case not even a couple of months alerts are going to work.
It's kind of sad to look back at that blind optimism that of course Reddit wasn't going to shit itself and I was definitely going to get that "!remindme in 10 years" DM and get a blast from the past.
Now all those messages will never be sent
Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.
All Reddit had to do was leave things alone and the community would keep chugging along.
I think I remember seeing Reddit’s comment somewhere that remindme bot will keep working.
