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'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

Why not just ignored those posts then? There are plenty of other posts to read.

Except everyone here has the same awful ex to complain about

Absolutely! Having this great thing in front of you, more lovable and genuine than what you had before, but you do keep on blabbering about the ex who went out for cheap cocktails and a 5-sec-back-alley-hump without lubricants with Steve.

Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.

I haven't really looked at anything else.

Getting fired from that place was the ~sob~ best thing that ever happened to me.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Down vote and YOU move on, then.

I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of "bitching about reddit / twitter whatever" trend will cool down.

I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo

something something "ez" self-validation for the simple-minded folk.

Retweet

Or should I say, Rethread

[–] angrymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There is communities, and there ppl talk about what they want. While ppl do not spam off-topic about reddit everything is great.

[–] Hedup@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I'm sure the same kind of bitchin' was going on reddit after digg exodus.
