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
- 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-----

MODERATORS
That's my guess as well. And the post default sorting by "active" means the top posts usually have a lot more staying power compared to reddit.
Didn't see much here that made me roll my eyes and think:"That made me feel dumber for reading it.", whereas on reddit that's pretty much every big thread.
That staying power is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you're looking for fresh content. Top Hour is marvelous. So is New Comments. :)
