Showerthoughts

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.

I need this as a poster on my wall

[–] smud 2 points 10 months ago

Yes but have you tried quitting vim's "easy mode"?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

:q! Before you save any other nonsense

[–] Jakdracula 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nah, ikea is the original escape room.

I see you haven't used ed.

[–] mumblerfish 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I don't get why the meme is about vim instead of ed. https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

I think escaping ed is easier than vi, although using it is completely different.

I've been using Linux as a desktop for over a decade and have never heard of ed before. I'm assuming that its general lack of popularity is why no one talks about it

ed is much older than Linux. I'm surprised you haven't at least heard of it. I found about about it though the old AT&T Unix tapes

That would imply that there is a way out with out using the power reset button...
