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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

In the past months, I was getting so many "you will probably like..."

No, I don't. Reddit, you're showing me irrelevant subs which prevent me from browsing the feed I curated.

It was so annoying...

i never saw the "you'll probably like..." messages; but i saw them in others' screenshots and it made me wonder why reddit's algorithm(s) didn't show it to me; i suspect it was because 99% of my subs were porn adjacent and they didn't want to advertise that.
