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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I know most people are saying it's totally reasonable to expect this kind of crazy behavior from rich narcissists... but I agree with you, there are too many people around spez, would have been so much warning, it's ridiculous that this not only happened but that he's still holding his ground. It's following the same trend as Twitter and other SM platforms, there HAS to be an alterior motive imo. Reddit is arguably the largest online community that spans worldwide, what makes most sense to me is that someone(s) wants to shut down and destroy this massive venue of information sharing... but that's just my opinion.
They want fascists to take it over and spread their bigotry faster. I think that's the ulterior motive when the entire world seems hell bent on boosting extreme right wing ideologies, apparently trying to push the world into the next great war.
I sound like a tinfoil hat nut writing like this, I know. I'm a lot more level-headed normally but I feel a bit hyper right now for some reason.
Yeah. It looks like they had enough of failing to organically grow right-wing spaces so they are now working to take over left wing ones. They don't seem to understand that the inherent toxicity of right wing ideology is why those places fail. It's really sad and disgusting.
