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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Hmm, after a quick Google - I vote for Slice. That’s what you call a group of lemmings. A slice of lemmings.
Wish we could make slice catch on. Not only for the reason you mentioned, but it also implies that what you are looking at is a part of a whole. So communities are a slice of lemmy.
Holy shit, that's amazing!
...meaning it will never catch on, but still. Great find.
Ooo I kinda like this a lot! How do we get this to be official?
Could always ask the devs?
Kbin can their communities Magazines, so people are okay with alternate names for communities already.
Then again trends catch on in weird ways. What we end up calling them might be something we haven’t heard suggested yet.
