It's OK
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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
Its impossible to delete anything on the fediverse
It's impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can't control everybody's backups.
What happens on the internet stays on the internet. As in "it doesn't go away"
Its easier to edit than to delete. So if you want something gone you should edit it first
There's a chance your edits won't propagate to all instances though.
Now there are my nudes and other things somewhere out there. Just great...
I think I have your nudes lying around here somewhere...gimme a minute
For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.
I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.
Sa PH lang kita madalas nakikita, san ka ba nagpo-post pre? 😃
Pakalat-kalat lang ako. Kung saan lang mapagtripan. 😅
Bihira lang din akong magpost kasi madalas wala rin naman akong masabi o maidagdag.
I'm just hanging around at random places. Wherever my fancy takes me.
I rarely post too, since I rarely have anything to say or add.
I will never forget you.
I'm order to prove you wrong, I am committed to remembering your username.
Thanks...?
Let's see when we meet each other in some other corner of Lemmy.
until we see each other again 🫡
User tags make recognizing people a lot easier. I see tagged users a lot. Voyager even keeps a running total of how many times I have upvoted and downvoted particular users.
There’s one user I have at like -30, tagged as a Nazi apologist. And sure enough, every time I scroll past them, they’re commenting some weird BS.
It feels like Reddit felt twenty years ago
Reddit 20 years ago was mostly just Reddit staff
By 2007, reddit definitely felt pretty big to me. But like an overgrown small town maybe.
Look at it this way, in a small town people are more likely to be kind and offer higher quality information when asked. The same things can be said about lemmy.
Agreed…Lemmy slightly reminds me of the early days of Internet forums/chatrooms/etc.
Yes, I’m old.
What happened to FlyingSquid
They started being a huge asshole, and when called out for it just up and left.
IIRC, they were having some health issues. It’s possible that it likely got too overwhelming, and they took time away from Lemmy to focus on their health.
At least people are keeping my mother's name out of their damn mouth.
I think she's ugly
