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.

What is the grapheneos connection?

[–] rowinxavier 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The McDonalds app no longer works on the GrapheneOS custom rom. This isn't because of a comparability issue, it is an active choice by them to restrict users, and honestly GrapheneOS is a more secure OS than the standard android ROM on most phones so they can't really say it is for security reasons.

The hell does one use a mcdolands app for?

Free food and coupons. Most of the time there's a 20% off coupon. The point system actually leads to free sandwiches and stuff.

Why, to steal your data, and send you push ads, of course. The same reason every other company wants you to download their app.

Yep, and along the way to remind you strategically that McDonalds is an option at times that you are considering what to eat. And to better tie you to a single profile to predict and then modify your behaviour. It would also be handy to do per person surge/demand pricing, making the prices of items dynamically shift to what you will tolerate.
