It also demonstrates that downvotes mean fuck-shit-all on here. This post will get just as many downvotes as a useful post will get upvotes. It's getting relatively just as much engagement and visibility.

Additionally, I've had one or two people go through my recent posts and comments and downvote a handful of them, due to this post. What they don't realize is they may have just bumped them, for anyone sorting by controversial. So theoretically, their little retaliatory hissy fit got me even more visibility.

I'm new here so I don't understand how downvotes work here, people seem to downvote everything? I think all my comments over the last few days all have a downvote or two. I don't understand why people downvote shit (ha) they simply think is weird.

I've downvoted things that are misogynistic or racist, but not things that are just weird.. is there an algorithm that's affected by upvotes/downvotes?

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.
