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-----

MODERATORS
 

It's routine for even relatively unsuccessful posts and comments to get 1000+ views. Imagine that many people huddled around you in the real world hearing your take on the Reddit API changes or looking at the dumb meme you made in 5 minutes. That would be something, wouldn't it? For some reason we don't think it is just because it's happening on the internet.

That's why I try to be interesting, even at the cost of things like accuracy sometimes. Since I'm not a technical guy, I don't really benefit from either accuracy or precision. Instead I ply emotion, humor and some basic rationality to entertain and occasionally try to share something useful. And every once in awhile troll someone. We all have our roots.

You stand for clickbait, and thus evil
