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

Old Slashdotter here. I skipped Fark and Digg and went straight to Reddit. I'm very happy to be here in the Fediverse/Lemmy world now.

I don't remember exactly how I came to Reddit, but I know I'm in the 13-year club. I remember when all the Digg users came over and remember they're being a lot of anger and memes about it. But I've been around long enough to where moving to a different platform doesn't phase me in the slightest. In fact, I'm really enjoying this feeling of a reinvigorated community.
