Posts would describe bizarre situations people have found themselves in, and commenters would take a stab at what put them there.

There’s a lot of potential here.

lemmy_check: crowdsourced fact-checking

lemmy_see: spot to compare pics of arbitrary stuff (lemmy see your favorite mug)

lemmy_know: ad-hoc polls, recommendations or requests for how-tos (lemmy know how you season your mac and cheese)

lemmy_tell_ya: rants about whatever

can i make these, since technically these are your ideas, i am definitely interested in lemmy_check. I believe lemmy_know is very close to c/ask

If your answers are going to be video links, most people won't be interested

[-] sga@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I agree, those are just 2 examples of people doing fact finding, idea is someone will post something, and other lemmings will do what people in the video did

Lemmy_at_him

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago

Lemmy_at_them, to have a wider scope.

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago

Lemmy_at_em rolls off the tongue better, imo.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

Shorter too, which is always good for a community name. You win!

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

I was searching for something that. Cool! I think the old Scrappy Doo character came to mind first!

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
