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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Now that Reddit’s been made obsolete,

Our new usernames can be discreet

So, make your name right

The future looks bright

You're not "Poem_for_your_sprog" are you? Just made your username "right" this time?

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.

Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!

Couldn't get the username you wanted? It's probably available on another federated instance.

Completely understand why people would want to change their names. But why mess with perfection in my case?

Selfhost your own instance, and you can have any username

I don't understand on why on a website where you can be anyone that you would choose to be something gross.
