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

Also no. Addiction happens exactly when the needs are met more than usual, hence "social media addiction", and it's not the social media's fault, it's not "TikTok Instagram bad". It's weaponized misconceptions about mental health that are creating this issue in the first place

Edit: PSA - more than usual does not mean enough
