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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Do you see any clear paths forward for a transition?
Someone else on this thread mentioned parallel structures and that is probably what is going to be needed.
Side topic, how did you get your username to do that?
Edit: It was @[email protected]
Yeah, I read his take and yeah I agree with need that, thats not going to stop the billionaires from killing us though 😔
Username: I edited the DB directly on my Lemmy instance with Zalgo text. I also set my join date to somewhere far off in the future 😋
Ooh I like that idea.
Do you use your own instance for browsing? Does using another instance for browsing mean your own instance does less caching?
Yeah I use Sync for Lemmy connected to my own instance that myself and friends use. I have a VPS that I run it on, and it catches everything I'm subscribed to, it's the only instance I "browse" on. I have accounts on other instances which I'll fall back to if I CBF hosting Lemmy anymore.
I see, thanks!
