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

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.
