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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Just not using the app is better than using the app.
I can't fathom how they bought a good app, put a dev "team" on it for 7 years, and still don't have half the features some neckbeards in their mom's basements without access to the backeng still managed to put into their apps.
What a pack of incompetent fucks.
Sounds like they lucked out into an awesome job with no real work required.
A surprisingly low bar
So true.
