Showerthoughts

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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Why doesn't Netflix have an option to always skip intros? Why do I have to hit it every time? Are there people that love watching the intro?

Not Netflix, but some shows have amazing intros that change every episode, like GoT.

Hell the intro was the most interesting part of the first 95% of the first episode (the last two minutes totally made up for it though).

Some shows put unique gags in each intro, like Simpsons.

Watching the Simpsons in the 90s... Live, no streaming, no recordings. If I missed that intro my week was ruined.

I think they use that to help track whether you're watching or not (I don't recall ever seeing the "are you still watching?" prompt when skipping intros... but my sample size is 1)

Show the still watching prompt, auto skip the intros. That is one action every few hours vs one action every half hour.
