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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- 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

I'm so tired of seeing people talk about this guy here.
Reddit is like the ex they cant get over. Lemmy is reddit now.
There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It's just the Circle of Life.
What was Digg?
It was a lot like a proto reddit. They made a bunch of changes to monetize and there was a mass exodus to reddit
15 years ago it was THE place to mindlessly scroll and see cool tech articles and other things. Before they got greedy.
Oh that I wish it were. Lemmy is improving, but it does not even approach the quantity and diversity of content Reddit has.
I'm finding it better. Yeah, there's less content and diversity, but the quality feels a lot better. I'm interested in a much larger share of the posts I see.
Same. I sort Lemmy by new and like most of the posts. On reddit, new is all AskReddit drivel.
True, l just post something to seed some data
Yeah, I didn't care for it while I was a reddit user. The guy literally doesn't care if you post 'fuck /u/spez' randomly in a comment section. Why let the guy live rent free in your head when you can step away from his domain and influence and never bothered again?
I specifically joined Lemmy to get away from Reddit. Why does everyone constantly want to talk about Reddit? There are much more interesting topics out there, folks
Catharsis and Schadenfreude (two very, very good words)
Remember to downtime the post. The doots work both ways.
Nah, I decided to not downvote anyone on lemmy. Only upvotes. We need more positivity in our lives.
Nah, it’s important to talk shit about people who suck that do corporatist shit like Spez. I don’t care about him but I’m just a sucker for anything like that.
We all are.
Yhea it just seems bitter
