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

This is more of a NoStupidQuestions post than a shower thought.
I agree but I am also genuinely impressed how many serious answers are here. When I read the post I was sure it was just a troll, but troll or not, there are so many people here to give good and based advice. It's just great. We should keep it!
It’s a bit of a shock to see so many serious/informative comments near the top isn’t it? But it doesn’t detract at all from my overall enjoyment of the site. They’res still funny comments, just not always at the top. It would be wonderful if lemmy grew large enough to have active communities to match the majority of subreddits, but not too large that it becomes hateful and hive-minded.
