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-----

The number of political videos I see on !videos@lemmy.world is growing. And most of them get downvoted there anyway.

Videos are for lazy people.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !breadtube@lemmy.world

!newcommunities@lemmy.world

Be the change you want to see.

I have no interest in moderating such a community. I've been doing my best to limit the amount of political things I'm exposed to, and that would go against my goal.

What you want is not what you're asking. You want less politics, judging by the other replies. People here will not give it to you, as furiously political circlejerking is part of Lemmy etc from its inception
