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

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

I don't think "lemmings" is a very appropriate name, considering the potentially harmful implications of blind misguided movement and lack of individuality.

I think "lemmings" is a very appropriate name because it is funny because of those potentially harmful implications.

Those implications being, don't trust big corporations as they will round you up and dump you over the side of a cliff to sell sad story and profit off your suffering? Yup, I agree, seems appropriate here.

“New viral cliff-jumping challenge linked back to Lemmy; a place where it’s users call themselves ‘Lemmings’…”

It's absolutely appropriate and approved. Hey guys, we've asked lemmings.

I find myself ok with the Lemming appellation

Um.. so very appropriate? considering what reddit was.
