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. 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

joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

Here we are recreating the exact same communities with the exact same content and the exact same jokes.

Maybe if we want to stop focusing on reddit we need to stop trying so hard to be reddit.

The problem with reddit was never the content, communities, or jokes...

Usernames checks out. This. Not a lawyer, but this is gold right here. Because science. F in the chat, my dude. That escalated quickly. ELI5? Happy cake day! 5/7 with rice. Take my upvote and go. We did it, Reddit! You. I like you. Good bot. I'm not crying, you're crying. Instructions unclear, got stuck in ceiling fan. Plot twist: OP is the real MVP. I'm here all day folks. Ah, the ol' Reddit switch-a-roo. Absolutely not me_irl. Risky click of the day. Came here to say this. OP’s mom has entered the chat. /s, but honestly, can confirm, am banana. Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

This is a little disturbing and should probably be its own post.

The front fell off

To be fair that is a national treasure in my country. And we’re happy to share.

Oh, it's a fantastic skit and I still find it hilarious.

It's just annoying when the punchline was posted to literally anything that's broken.

Also * shudder * as if people were roleplaying with their 6 foot tall cat gfs with those asterisks and shit, i was a lurker for obvious reasons but even i wanted to say "just write some sentences dude"
