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

Best reason ever to be rid of TikTok.
Well that, and the fact that its a Chinese PsyOp to sow discord and manipulate people into ridiculous, insane behaviors.
Just wait until I release the landscape video platform of... YokYik!
Everything is doing it already. Good luck watching a "horizontal" video uploaded to Instagram from your desktop browser.
Why'd you use a Facebook piece of crap like instagram to begin with?
I don't use it actively (I'm not even logged in) but a good bunch of my friends keep sending me links. It would sound pretty mean if I just refused to open so many links to so many people on so many platforms (I consider TikTok even worse). I was talking about the phenomenon in general and brought up Instagram as an example.
