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

You really didn't have to hit post on this one, yeesh
The people have a right to know
*repost this one
I had seen this many-a-time on Reddit (it’s a site that’s like Lemmy but shittier)
Your correction doesn't make sense, there's no repost button.
But yeah, I've seen this on Reddit few years ago.
I’m in not trying to shit on you, OP! I was just saying I’ve seen this showerthought a bunch before.
Also your first sentence makes ZERO sense, as 99.999% of reposts are posted without the use of a dedicated repost button? Like is a “repost” button a button anyone has ever seen?
Quick edit: oh I totally see what you mean, my comment intended to transform “hit post on” into just “repost” hahaha
Now I want a cynical dev to make a Lemmy app that labels the post button as the repost button. Might as well assume all content is unoriginal, right?
Yeeeeh basically everything on the internet is unoriginal now. Even the comment I’m current making.
R9K was a cool experiment, until… well… the /b/. Which was like… the all of it.
Sounds like a great idea for April Fools.
