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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm still with my old yahoo account, because it is tied with my tumblr account, and sad to say my tumblr is much older than my first reddit account, which is older than the digg migration. I'd revive yahoo groups in a heartbeat if it is revived with the same feature set. There's a certain kind of group discussion it really does well for that forums don't really capture.
SAME, why did Yahoo shut down, there were so many incredible things to it (but I like forums, too)
Edit: I'm dumb and misspoke, Yahoo itself didn't shut down but a lot of things in it did
