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

Although, I'll never buy a book where the author's name is in bigger, bolder font than the title of the book.

I hate that trend in cover design and I refuse to support it.

Is this still a thing? I thought this was mostly popular in the 90s and dropped out of popularity in the last couple decades.

Definitely still see it for Stephen King at least, but frankly I'd be creeped out if I saw his name small at this point...
