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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that's for the future of us all.

I don’t think you understand how communities work. Conversations get repeated all the time in communities.

A community for determining the answer to each question once should be structured like stack exchange.

Reddit is a place for discussion.

reddit is a link aggregator. its for people to find links, post them to relevant groups who then evaluate the quality and relevance of that post, and then vote to bring it up or down in the feeds of people subscribed to that group. that's how reddit works. its a very poor way to hold discussions because it means any unpopular opinion gets downvoted by ignoramuses who don't understand that they're evaluating for quality not for agreement. reddit is not a place for discussion.

Then what are we doing here, right now?

Exactly. Reddit was designed as a leisure activity not a tool to get work done.

You've completely lost the plot.

I’m enjoying myself. You’re not accomplishing anything. I’m fine over here based on my goals.
