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

Receiving the same posts isn't quite the same thing without the same community, though.
You see two posts, both of the same gif.
One is upvoted 200 times, with 50 comments
The other upvoted 50 times with 2 comments.
What link do you think is more attractive? Both to you and to a passerby with no context?
I wish that the same posts across multiple instances could be merged together. So instead we just see the one post upvoted 250 times with 52 comments
