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

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. (lemmy.world)

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

There was a guy posting literal gifs of shit and also DMing them to people and somehow I still prefer it over reddit.

Yeah I scrolled by one of those with bare genitalia in full view while waiting in my doctor's office. It would be nice to establish a NSFW spoiler tag as like... just common courtesy. Even reddit followed that rule most of the time.

I mean poop is pretty funny.

Seeing a graphic gif of woman defecating unexpectedly will never be funny and will always be disgusting

Oh it was that kind of poo...
