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

The Bill of Rights was the first patch deployed in 1791 with an Overwhelmingly Positive reception.

Future releases came in the form of Constitutional Amendments with Mostly Positive reviews (although certain groups of people did attempt to review bomb).

Meh, it would be fine if they kept up with the updates, but they keep deferring obvious fixes like "stop sending everything through the damn electoral college".

Everyone else had the proportional voting representation patch, we're the only idiots who claim to like it better broken.
