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

It's pretty amazing to search for something and actually see things you searched for.

Does this work any better than DuckDuckGo? People praise DDG, but imo it's results are pretty shit and I could never end to sticking with it. It can't even get basic quoted text syntax correct.

Yeah ddg is as bad as google imo. This works like the net used to be.

Damn, I've gotten so many good alternatives lately. Thanks for posting that.

Oh fuck man, that's a great find! Thank you for sharing that. It's actually providing really substantiative results which I haven't seen from Google for at least 5 years.

I have definitely bookmarked that website, even though I use duck duck go I will probably use that as an alternate now.

Another good search engine that's less useful for searches but for providing information is of course Wolfram alpha
