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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

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!

Sounds like someone needs a good teabagging followed up with a dab... or are kids not doing that stuff anymore? I don't even know what's hip now.

You’re only young once but you can be immature forever.

Lol my previous comment got deleted. Lemmy.world controlled by a reddit admin?

Edit: legit thought maybe it could be an error but my comment must have hit too close to the mark and was deleted! Lol

Now we know why beehaw defederated

Edit: Responses before comment was deleted.

So if a place gets crappy and defederated, do all its users need to go find a replacement for all the communities they sub to?

Sounds like mini-reddit exoduses tbh.

Woteva. You litterally sound like an auld man 🤣 I disagree with this...

I do find slightly more mature content over here (though not so much of 'watchitfortheplot')...

Mostly it's just stupid people, lazy people, ignorant people.

There are some here, but it's certainly less than the 95% hit rate of RedTit.
