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

It sure has. I knew it had been a while but didn't realize how close till we entered into May.
How about nothing? The happy cake day comments were even more annoying than "this" comments
Ah, complaining about the culture of the site was my favorite part of reddit culture
this place isn't what it used to be
This
This.
Mine's June 13th. One more month and I won't have posted anything on reddit for a full year.
Let's let Reddit Things die with Reddit.
Jehovah's Witness tier argument
Why is that a thing?
Same energy as a store giving me a birthday email.
You must be fun at parties.
Birthday parties to be precise.
Are these birthday parties where we sit around selling each other the latest MLM garbage
looks at profile oh hello
Lemmy wish you a Happy Cakeday! May your post counts be high and your comments be gold.
Maybe it could be specific to each user?
Few ideas
-
a community for people to post in on their cake day, where they can comment on some aspect of their life that's improved in the last year / something they're grateful for
-
if you come across a cake day account, pop into their history and comment on something you find interesting
Note to self—don't make any comments on cake day
The latter sounds great!
How about denim day? Bean jean day? Thigh high day? Cake is a lie, let's celebrate real linux twinks.
Went to look and you're right, June 14, the exact day Boost for reddit stoped working. Now ai use boost for lemmy! :)
Shucks, I originally joined beehaw but they were blocking too many sites, and switched on September. Ruined my true cake day
That's okay, changing instances at least once is part of the experience
Toss a coin to your server. Oh community of plenty.
Canvas event?
Oh, how about that? I say we get drunk. Day drink! Day drink and post stupidly!
Act natural. Got it.
I totally forgot Ming-Na Wen was in that.
I didn't even recognize her, but as soon as I heard her voice it was clear. :-)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Everyone should post beans
Lemmings welcoming another Rexxitor, circa June 2023.
How soon we forget Lemmy’s first big meme.
3 days, no poop.
And not poop for 3 days
You want beans? I'll give you all the beans you can handle...
Wait a minute...
Look, the rewards outweigh the risks so its work it.
I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.
I was wondering that, actually. Many instances predate the Rexodus, but a lot of them sprung up around the same time as a result of that.
Trying to think of some way to celebrate on my instance. Maybe a birthday hat on my site icon for the day? lol
Replace the website with a picture of beans.
On second thought, don't do that
I've seen the reference a lot, but I don't understand it. At this point, I'm too afraid to ask. lol
Behold!
