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

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

I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. (lemmy.ca)

Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

That was only the first year or two at most iirc

At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that's how I'd normally use Twitter when I wasn't at a computer.
