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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It's hard to tell anymore if the internet truly offers nothing of value to me or if I'm just dead inside. (lemmy.world)

Maybe we were all dead inside to begin with ... and then we created an internet that offered nothing of value in return.

For half a moment, that shared nothingness created something new, but then they came and chopped it off into small, blend, mouth sized pieces that never make you full.
