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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

Fair enough. While you’re at it, add a no anime day and a no Linux day as well. Or are we only removing things you don’t like?

Not op but I’d be down for all three of those actually!

At that point it might be better to just have a designated anime, Linux, and politics day (or two).

OR! Categories that you can block, with mandatory category tags on each community and lying about the category results in perma-ban.

And no memes

Okay Buddy, this is where I draw the lines.

You can take my gun, but you can never take my memes!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And a no snark day!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't you like that

Could it be 3 different days ? Because I don't want to spend one day per week staring at my walls
