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:
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 hadn't been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.
Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.
Noped right out.
I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻♂️
I don't want to call it X because it's a shit shit shit name
Call it "the app formerly known as twitter". It's what the media does. It would piss off Elon, and it has a whole prince vibe to it.
Elon will buy Reddit next and rename it to Xit. Pronounced like...
You're giving him too much credit. He'll probably call it “X”, as well, grabbing some other Unicode letter, but he'll keep using the reddit.com domain. Y'know, like twitter.com.
Mmh... nope, don't care, my neurons has already a "twitter" thing in memory, devoting 0 additional effort in anything related to that thing
Twitter was always bad. It is of course way worse now, but it is silly to have any nostalgic and reverential feelings for it.
Xerox.
Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon's X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
Twitter is no worse today than five years ago. But it’s certainly also no better. The discussion about which billionaires we want manipulating public discourse is outright insanity
Best name to call it is to just not call it anything. Don't talk about it. Let it die.
xTwitter
Can we start calling it Bluesky?
I always call it 'X, the everything app.'
Xlon’s Twitter
Shitter
This isn't a shower thought
Sure was.
