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

Sometimes you'll see a landscape video letterboxed into a portrait video, just to make sure it's terrible no matter which way you view it (but extra bad watching on a landscape monitor). So I don't see this as a badge of anything.
On a sidenote, I've noticed video cropping is pretty nice on a phone (widescreen+landscape) depending on the content (I got an OLED phone free because the screen is cracked). Like Wall-e is pretty good like that. Also the music video for Long-Legged Larry (some things are cut off but not enough that it detracts from understanding)
