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
    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-----

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

There was a guy posting literal gifs of shit and also DMing them to people and somehow I still prefer it over reddit.

Yeah I scrolled by one of those with bare genitalia in full view while waiting in my doctor's office. It would be nice to establish a NSFW spoiler tag as like... just common courtesy. Even reddit followed that rule most of the time.

I mean poop is pretty funny.

Seeing a graphic gif of woman defecating unexpectedly will never be funny and will always be disgusting

Oh it was that kind of poo...
