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

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

This so far seems to be the generally accepted term that's been making it's way around the platform here recently.

It’s the only reasonable answer given the name really

I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.

[–] Sputnik34@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This and it isn't even an option

Has to be this.

[–] Rick@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmings is the obvious choice

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm willing to follow all of you off a cliff.

Did you know, the famous shot of lemmings falling of a cliff in the documentary that started the ideas that lemmings will just die following their peers off a cliff was actually a bunch of documentary makers pushing a bunch of lemming off of it to make a cool shot and not actual lemmings behavior ? You probably did actually...

Is this legit? Do you have a source I could read? If this is real that's so effed

[–] Amol@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can find it on the wikipedia page of the film, but if you search for it on the internet you find a ton of sources https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_(film)

Lemmings. That's why I created Lemmings.world!

[–] damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do like walking off cliffs.

I don't understand why this isn't the most up voted selection.

Lemmings of course

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

From Reddit's point of view, we all just migrated off a cliff.

[–] zuhayr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And not one of you said LAME?? I'm ashamed!

[–] BendyLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lemmies

Lemmings

Combustible Lemmons

[–] MarshReaper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely not lemmings.

Lemmy users.

[–] modkhi@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemons? I think it'd be funny, and there's even an emoji for it too. 🍋

[–] MrCrankyBastard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The big concern is that people will sour on it.

[–] GhostGray@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

How about a new pronoun like Lem?
