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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Nothing is where you expect in other people's kitchens (self.showerthoughts)

As the title suggests, trying to find anything in someone else's kitchen is almost always a frustrating experience. Everyone seems to have a different idea about where to put things.

Indeed, but I think providing some level of customization usually resolves this to a good extent (ignoring the entire debate of how customizable one app should be), with decent defaults for people who couldn't be bothered.

But your point still stands: excluding infinitely-customizable apps (to such an extent in which you might as well write your own), there would be some person out there who'd be "just fine" with it, and not completely satisfied. And if I were an app dev, I'd find a balance between satisfying the most amount of people with the defaults, and allowing more people to be satisfied with customization, all the while keeping myself sane (keeping the amount of effort needed to a humane amount).
