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

This is definitely the way. There is something to be said about people's need or desire for validation via upvotes, but as others have mentioned here, it's super refreshing being able to interact with content hours after it was posted and not being drowned out.
It feels more like we are having interactions with other real people. More like the early internet.
