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

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Geocities circa 94-96. The first place anyone could have a little webpage.
We didn't even have CSS then! We had to build our pages in a cave with a box of HTML tags for scraps. You could do some sick shit with some fancy nested TABLE tags tho.
I remember when they depreciated tables for use in styling, and everybody was freaking out because how could you make a pretty website without them?
We didn't know back then how spoiled we would be with CSS.
I'm pretty sure that all the hats for CSS is from people who never experienced the web before it.
IMHO CSS is a gift from the Gods.
