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.

Why would the spider text first in this scenario?

[–] meekah 13 points 5 months ago

I suppose it was a human typing at first, and the dog barking because it saw a huge spider. Then during the struggle, the keyboard mashing happened, including the sending of the message. Then the spider tries to play it off.

It's probably trying to gain Cueball's trust.

Excuse me, that is only when I'm not trying to be professional about it, with carefully crafted perception of randomness.

I should make a key macro that binds asd/aoe to grabbing data from /dev/urandom and using that to generate three random ascii letters.

Yup. The other day, a friend messaged me "asd" over steam to indicate he was online and ready to play something. I responded in kind, but he thought I was suggesting we play Age of Empires instead of our usual Project Zomboid.
