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 and the TOS

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.

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.

And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.

A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..

Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.

A boobs/celeb/shoes button

A religion button.

People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

This isn't a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.

Reddit had a keyword option to filter out items. I had cat in there and it worked for years. Was pretty simple. Not sure if it was part of the third party app I used or internal to Reddit. Either way it was effective.

Add gaming while you're at it. I'm a former gamer but I'm in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.

I'd rather just a "Hide Thread" button but I can't find one.

Meanwhile the dozens of us hockey fans don't see anything about our sport. :(

Wait, you all get sports content!? It a desert in here for me. I almost never see any sports. And I really want it. What!? How?!
