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

But that's just for the text version without media files
25gb of text is a lot dang!
I assume that contains all the different languages. So most articles will repeat the same information like 10 times or whatever for all the different common languages. Still a huge amount of text though!
Nope, 25 gb is just english language wikipedia compressed, no images. All the other languages are smaller.
