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

Or someone with the same opinion as yours will start argue with you because you said it in a different way that they don't agree with.
They wouldn't "argue" they would correct you.

Yes those are the worst. Some people think that a normal conversation should be an exchange of contradictions, even when agreeing. I know exactly 1 person like that in real life who hasn't matured beyond that, but with the size of Reddit, there'd always be one.
I also got a funny reply one time from someone who claimed to have just thought something unique, after which he literally just rewrote my exact post. Basically doing "I made this" while trying to argue about it. After all I'm glad I managed to make him understand something, but he must be an insufferable genius to be around.
Eventually there will be crazy people here too, but so far it seems a lot less pretentious than the Reddit hivemind.
