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

Coming on Lemmy and complaining in ShowerThoughts that there are too many Lemmy users complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

If every prostitute approached you and had to tell you how much better she is at something than your current SO/wife, you should ditch your SO in favor of prostitutes, even though you’re not there for service.

Then it would be like Lemmy.

More like a bar with too many drunk people. It is understandable that they are there and its also expected that there are sober people there but it gets annoying when the drunk people keep spilling alcohol on you. Tho i dont its it that bad.

Yeah, I agree Linux is actually just a really solid OS

Yeah, your's is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they're drunk but thank god they're not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.

Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don't think this is really a thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No it isn't a thing, I've seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I'm pretty sure it's either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint

How so? I don't see the analogy.

when she looks a little further and finds out that you are cheeting

but not on her, just in the game you convinced her to play with you.

I don't care how many people use it, but it seems to pop up (unwarranted) in darned near every sub I'm in. Enjoying something is fine, but it's best to not let any single thing become your identity or define you as a person.

That's me but with US politics, I blocked a few communities and moved on.
