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-----

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that's for the future of us all.

Why is the Shower Thoughts community essentially meta discussion of Lemmy and not, well, shower thoughts?

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmy is new and its one big circle jerk right now, and I like it!

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what's the meringue for?

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For your wildest dreams, buddy, for your wildest dreams...

(We lubricate the rattle snake with it, duh)

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Now that's wild!

lemmy is too new for its users to have used the shower yet

[–] byrona@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Wow this is a shower thought itself 😂

[–] patachu@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just be glad we're actually taking showers.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Because that’s all we thinking about in the shower these days. Clever things to say about lemmy on lemmy.

The showerthoughts subreddit was ridiculously overmoderated, so 90-99% of posts just get removed.

This one is basically unmoderated.
