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.

I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (self.showerthoughts)

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

The thing with mostodon and lemmy is that the feed is not algorithmicly tailored to you with the goal to get you to spend as much time as possible. That’s why these experiences are usually more relaxed and fulfilling than what the big players offer.

Name of the wind was great. The only reason I didn't start the second book was the Author's refusal of releasing the third and "final" book. I prefer cutting things on my terms rather than being forced to. it sounds stupid but at least I feel in control that way lol.
