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. 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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

[–] sidhant@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ok hang on this is nuts.

How about bold? 🥵🤑😈

How about heading?

😏🤣👽

Strikethrough? ~~😱🤮🤔~~

🤡🤡👀🎉😂 Italics are the best though

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why tf is strikethrough emoji a thing

Because in unicode strikethrough is achieved by superimposing the strikethrough character on another character. So any regular character, emojis included, can be striked through.

To specifically say I was going to smile, but I choose to not.

Don't see any difference for bold emojis.

Could you possibly share a screeny? They do not appear different on my app/device in italic and I’m so curious!

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 14 points 1 year ago

That italic emoji makes me uncomfortable.
