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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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
Dependent on the length of the horn blast, however
Yup. A quick tap of the horn or double tap is fine. Even a 1 second blast. Once we get into 2 seconds blast territory, it transitions to rude, with 3+ seconds going up linearly on the deranged jackass scale
If said this for years, cars need a secondary polite horn
I saw some video of an infuriatingly positive and giggly guy mod his horn this way. To add insult to injury iirc (which is about 50/50 after so many years) he used an arduino to do it. Video got a gazillion likes and many supporting comments. It unexpectadly became the last straw before deleting my facebook account.
I know… I’m no fun.
