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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's useful for a lot of stuff but it's been waaay over hyped, mostly by youtubers desperate for content. So I think a lot of people are having a counter-reaction to that.

Once everyone calms down and realise it's not an automatic-do-everything-machine, they'll appreciate the circumstances in which it actually is useful.
