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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
I read that the reddit userbase fell 3%. All those blackouts which ended without achieving anything. I left reddit when they announced the death of the API and never looked back.
The quality of posts is certainly down.
No, no, the seeds of the site's downfall have been planted by the administration, you gotta remember these sites depend on a tiny amount of power posters, not to mention the moderator contingent, which they pissed off. Not all migrated away, but enough did to hurt the quality of the site, and any that remain will remember. They HAVE lost a lot and haven't noticed yet. Sites that big will not fall in a day, it will be alive a decade from now, like Livejournal or Slashdot are still alive.
