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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

I didn't mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell "neither" if I just remember the e comes before the i... that's the problem.

It's like saying "if you want to be rich just get more money" or "NASCAR is easy cuz it's all left turns"

The "I before E" rule is weird.

Yeah... A lot of exceptions to that rule, mainly because of how the English language developed.
