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 weren't involved on early forums if you think that shitposting and cheap memes haven't made their way into every social media platform ever. Shitposting is like the default human behavior. The wonder of the forum-style platform is the ability to isolate shitposting to select communities and harbor different types of deeper conversations within other communities. The people gotta have their shitposts somewhere. Best to create a mud pile for them to roll around in.
