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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I only joined Reddit five years ago. Leaving Reddit turned out to be pretty easy because I had other things to occupy my time with. I have a feeling that it's because I was never that attached to reddit to begin with.
I can relate to this. I think I've been on Reddit for about 6 years. I probably had a bit of an addiction but I used to be pretty serious into forums and I have already learned how to disconnect from internet communities more than a decade ago.
Should note that the 'addiction' part was only fueled by my favorite third party app "Joey".
I'm only going back to reddit here and there so I can use Joey till the end. It's like going back to an old house you still have the keys to and wandering around thinking of the memories.
