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 got a "who asked" amongst more productive banter this morning and I actually laughed and said "thank god, people can talk without a filter".
I'm okay with some stuff being toxic. Reddits moderation rules were so restricting that you couldn't have a genuine conversation or sometimes just post something that was clearly originally intended to be posted to a sub; moderation was too tight.
Freedom of speech shouldn't be inconvenienced by a fedora wearing subreddit mod. And if one Lemmy instance does, there's others you can enjoy!
This is why I started to hate reddit, even before the big API fiasco. It's clear all that was making it to the front page was the same liberal-pandering bullshit.. I don't mind seeing a little shad thrown at one side or the other every now and then, but when it's every 5 posts and it's always just 1 sides opinion it's incredibly annoying! I was already looking for other sources of entertainment. I'm kinda glad I found Lemmy. It's been a really cool experience so far.
