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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

What would the incentive to repost something be? There is no karma to be earned.

Astroturfing for the purpose of changing public opinion? Although wouldn't really be worth it considering the limited size of lemmy at the moment

I wouldn't even go that deep, I'd just compare it to people that hear someone tell a joke in class silently and then proceed to tell that very same joke, but loudly.
