Showerthoughts

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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it (lemmy.cafe)

Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.

I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I'm looking for will be able to find it from my post.

I have little to no intention of further referencing that post

You're a saint.

On the old site my username was AmNotSatan, with the premise being that I may not be good but at least I AmNotSatan.

People would constantly accuse me of secretly being Satan all of the time, to which I would invariably reply, Am Not

How are there only 2 arduino posts in the Arduino Lemmy? Are there no other Lemmys for microcontrollers?

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea. I also thought it was weird but whatever whatever

Your post made me search and I found this:

https://lemux.minnix.dev/c/microcontrollers

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !microcontrollers@lemux.minnix.dev

Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.

If more people did that, we'd be cured of the "found a solution in an old post -> solution is deleted" trend which has woefully plagued the web.
