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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Same. It's not intrinsically bad, it was abused, but often useful
I just didn't like when people would use them to make fun of each other. Like commenting "r/wooosh" for someone just asking for clarification on something. Using it to say "this comment or post would be appropriate for this subreddit" is fine imo. I just don't like when people try to put others down to make themselves feel better than other people.
I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren't for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion
