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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Spotify wrapped started this trend seems other apps are following through. Seeing a summary of things you did with there app. Kind of gives you a hint how much other things are being tracked.

The whole 'wrapped' summaries thing dovetails perfectly into social media narcissism. It's quite a spectacle to witness.

Edit: the phrase I was looking for came to me:

Sharing 'wrapped' anything is solid gold self-absorbed dipshittery.

I enjoy it for retro achievements because it said I spent 60 hours playing Dragon.Quest 8 for the PS2. But that's probably because it's all free.

And oddly enough it was the only wrapped I got as I don't do subscription based stuff.
