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.

Perhaps this is a dark thought... but I'm wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to "We did it Reddit!" or "Thanks for the gold kind stranger!" will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it's unavoidable.

Not exactly the same thing but... People are already referring to Lemmy users as "Lemmings" which, yeah it makes sense... But it also has some stereotypes associated with it that aren't what I'd like to be associated with, you know?

I can already imagine it being used in a phrase with something about jumping off cliffs and being brainless followers and whatnot. Especially with this exodus situation. lol

Yeah I'm okay with that. It'll keep us humble when we inevitably screw up.
