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

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers (lemmy.ml)

people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux

Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it's not like they went out and specifically 'learned Windows'. Most people just don't give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.

For the other 4% of people, there's Linux!
