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

How does that make his contributions wrong?
Gee I don’t know let’s have a look:
It’s getting out of hand I’d say
All of those are funny and obviously untrue. Using Wikipedia isn't a one stop perfect information system. Knowing how to use it comes with knowing how to use the sources.
Well Wikipedia is striving to be a perfect information system. So they don't belong there. There are better locations on the internet for those kinds of jokes.
So his contributions were wrong but now you're moving goalposts and saying they're funny and obviously wrong, so it's okay? WTF kind of standard is that lol
