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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Insults are an attack and a lack of respect by default, they cannot be considered flattery under any circumstances.
The opposite case is criticism, which, even if it is harsh, can be made with greatest possible respect. Besides, to make a critique, first you have to analyze the work properly, that in itself shows commitment, and THAT'S flattering.
It is not good to assume, but maybe you confused both terms.
So when people are celebrating their haters, they are insulted? No they are flattered that somebody else spent the energy being angry. If I can stir shit up and make you mad, as long as you won't hurt me I'll love the attention
God what a naive and toxic attitude. This peak toxic troll thinking that has absolutely no place in any useful discourse. With all sincerity, you should really seek help. I really do pity you. This isn't flattery. I'm not angry. I'm not celebrating you. I don't care to hurt you. You're just a sad fool and I hope you find a way to be better.
Wait why are you getting so upset? In what way have I engaged in toxic discourse, or I am a troll? I had a "shower thought" and thought it was funny and decided to share it. How have I been toxic, by like vaguely defending a view that I hadn't thought about but for more than the time it took to post this and respond to you.
I'm not being toxic or performatively indignant. I'm not sure what you think my intent is, but I assure you it isn't as negative as you are making it out to be.
You come across like someone who wants to pick a fight, do you care to explain that behavior?
That doesn’t sound healthy my man
Who in their right mind "celebrate" their haters?
Who said anything about "right mind"?
Well, that explains everything.
