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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

So in the future those upvotes will have deceased people.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂
I didn't know how to react at first, but once you got over 20 upvotes, it all made sense.
I think that's not quite right, but it's certainly an interesting take.
Yeah, thinking about it more, the similarities are kind of narrow.
You could make a better comparison with a regular crowd, but then it wouldn't feel like much of a showerthought at that point because it's just observing that the crowd has moved online.
Laugh tracks might be used to improve there ratings of a show, but with memes there's not really a show and no one's forcing a laugh
I think the essence of what I was thinking of though is that just like a regular crowd, an online crowd can still influence you to think something is funnier or better than you would alone (at least for me)
