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.

Instead of it just being for a single person, we can collectively celebrate The Great Exodus of 2023.

Thanks! Hopefully my neighbors don’t burn down the neighborhood.

Hopefully by next year we will have some flair for that!

God I hope not. The cake day nonsense was one of the worst parts of reddit

I thought it was an imgur thing.

As with a lot of things on imgur, it started on reddit.

Imgur literally started because a redditor wanted a place to host images for reddit posts, eventually turning into its own community, but with an interface largely based on reddit stuff (upvotes, downvotes, cake day, etc).

It's crazy, cuz I've been am imgurian for 11 years and just got on reddit as it was shutting down.
