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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

I hope it doesn't peter out like Goat did. I deleted all my 100k plus reddit accounts yesterday. I have so much muscle memory from going to reddit daily that I have to force myself not to go.

The first week is the hardest. It gets better the longer you are able to be intentional about your choices.

Seems an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly miss this. The whole "using subreddits as hashtags" thing is how I found a number of interesting subs I would have never otherwise even thought to search for. Yeah, some were very big and well known ones like /holup that got repetitive, but others were some niche thing that fit that specific post in a way that I at least found somewhat funny.

It’s because the majority isn’t here yet. You would have the same quality in smaller subreddits, as long as they are somewhat moderated.

Just wait a few months and you’ll see the idiots returning with their cheap comments.
