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

Lemmings, clearly

I don't understand why this isn't the most up voted selection.

Lemmings is the obvious choice

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm willing to follow all of you off a cliff.

Lemmings obviously

From Reddit's point of view, we all just migrated off a cliff.

Fedizens? Fedditor seems to retain some of the "Reddit".
