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

Jojo you have the best takes, everybody knows that

My parents and a number of other people in my IRL life would like you to know that they strongly disagree.

Well, tell them, politely disagreeing on personal takes is a thing on the fedivers. They should join and try. They might then find your takes very much helpful and interesting.

I've brought Lemmy up, but no one's seemed very interested. As for my takes, welllll... I share them when I'm in polite company.

Same for me. But I'm not sure I'll behave the same knowing my folk are roaming lemmy's comment.

On the one hand, it has the same potential as reddit to be anonymized. On the other hand, how hard could I be to pin down?
