All political views should end with the word boy in a southern voice.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both β200β and β160β are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When youβre a kid, you donβt realize youβre also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

That's why my main point still stands. You know where someone stands the way they say it. I could greet you or disrespect you, all depends in my tone.
Bro, great posting! πππππ @sxan@midwest.social
They need a "follow accounts" button here. Like if a reporter used !worldnews@lemmy.ml you could just follow the reporter.
Thank you!
And: dude! I have totally thought the same thing! It's so weird that Mastodon has follow-accounts, but no communities; Lemmy has join-communities but no follow-accounts; and they're both ActivityPub. You'd think that would be a no-brainer feature, right?
Maybe someone will cook it up. Wish I had the know how to do it.
Yeah, it'd have to be a Lemmy design change, and then all of the many clients would have to implement it... momentum is a powerful force in the software world, and difficult and dangerous to overcome. Look at the fiasco of Python 3; that was a cock-up of epic proportions. Lemmy's got enough users and clients now that changes have to be made extremely carefully.
