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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

YouTube shorts and Instagram reels are a rip-off of TikTok.

Live streams. Twitch is built around them, but you can also do them in YouTube and Instagram.

Stories. I don't even know who did them first, but now they are identical in Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.

Snapchat did stories first bro. Also Facebook Instagram and Whatsapp are all owned by meta so it's no wonder their story functions look the same.

It's also weird how they try to make whatsapp more than it is meant to be. Everybody uses it to replace texting and that's it.

I know people that "post" stories on WhatsApp and use it for video conferencing very often. Not my cup of tea, but i think those functions do get used quite often.
