Showerthoughts
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
There’s a lot of potential here.
lemmy_check: crowdsourced fact-checking
lemmy_see: spot to compare pics of arbitrary stuff (lemmy see your favorite mug)
lemmy_know: ad-hoc polls, recommendations or requests for how-tos (lemmy know how you season your mac and cheese)
lemmy_tell_ya: rants about whatever
can i make these, since technically these are your ideas, i am definitely interested in lemmy_check. I believe lemmy_know is very close to c/ask
Please do and link them all here so I can subscribe
If your answers are going to be video links, most people won't be interested
I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did
Lemmy_at_him
Lemmy_at_them, to have a wider scope.
Lemmy_at_em rolls off the tongue better, imo.
Shorter too, which is always good for a community name. You win!
I was searching for something that. Cool! I think the old Scrappy Doo character came to mind first!
Roasting community?
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Done.
Oh wow thank you so much!
I got super busy today and only just got back on now to see the idea seems to have some traction. I will try to post/comment there to get ball rolling.
I was thinking actually, you could have posts that, like I suggested, describe a strange situation and invite people to speculate on how it came about. But you could also give some sort of narrative that describes the circumstances instead and leads up to a point where you go "…and you'll never guess what happened next!" or something to that effect.
I'd subscribe to that community
On the flip side, The Margot Robbie account created Now Lemmy Explain.
Owww that's cool
So cool it hurts, apparently?
They are shitting bulls, probably living a life of constant pain
CREATE IT NOW
Community for fake/real stories and commenters get to discuss if it's real or not. This is actually just the green text community nevermind
More like AITA
lemmy_google_that_for_you
And a hook-up community called lemmy_holla
