Showerthoughts

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

Oh, this is actually what I clicked and not a baseball post

Realistically, this is one of the reasons Lemmy is so good right now. The masses generally don't put up with alpha software. Honestly, I like it this way. Improvements are good, but there's something about seeing something grow and develop

I know fuck all about coding and software but THIS IS THE ONE. It feels really neat being nestled in the foundation of something that's somehow already cozy. Only visiting that other site to mark which sub FORUMS might migrate over here

The real trick is getting BACK to the baseball post

Don't worry. When it's time, it'll find you.

I just discovered you can just refresh on those and it'll sort out the thread. Up until now, I'd thought I was just misclicking every time haha

The irony of your comment posting twice 😂
