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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

You used to ignore the phone to browse the internet on a computer.

Now you ignore the computer to browse the internet on your phone.

If you are a peasant. Why would you want to look at the world through a keyhole, when you can look at the world through a large picture window?

99% of all my internet activity is done through a computer.

I also prefer a desktop, but I’m not an elitist and I recognize the majority of people, especially younger people, consume a significant amount (if not a majority) of content on their phones.

I am so impressed about the people that still mainly browse the Internet using a PC... But I am more impressed that people don't have a PC in their dwelling...

Maybe it is so millennial from my part, but in the house we still have a dedicated "PC room" with a printer that the whole family uses, of course our family browsing experience was almost exclusively done from said room years ago.
