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-----

Gatekeeping has no limits. You can probably even gatekeep gatekeeping.

Honestly you gotta have a lot of knowledge for gatekeeping, not many people are suited to gatekeep /s

I remember when gatekeeping was for the truly elite, now we have all of these newbies around who know enough to think they're better than the uninitiated

I mean, do you really dream, when you "dream" about phones? I don't think so! /s
