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-----

A few genuine signals quickly become noise as everyone tries to be heard, demanding more and louder signals to stand out.

I need to sort which ones by me don't have ads. It's the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven't had coffee yet that just sours my mood.

Yeah, I was visiting Seattle at a tram stop, I could hear an ad from a gas pump going off from halfway across the street... obnoxious af.
