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
It is because of google's SEO algorithms. Old content has been around far more to rank up higher. And because people only click on first results. Newer content can't rank against websites with more authority. Sometimes changing the date filter helps.
Their seo scores go down though if the page doesn't regularly change whenever the Google bot revisits it though. As it means it is stagnant and no longer being updated.
