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

It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.

I have to specifically follow anime stuff to see anime stuff on Lemmy, what are you on?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Subscribing to communities and browsing Subscribed by default, so that would explain something.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Ah, my subscribed communities get like one new post per month. So, I'd just not be on Lemmy if I was limited to my subscriptions.

Could we perhaps swap accounts? On my feed there's NEVER anime related stuff, and as a fan of them this kinda sucks

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yes please!

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

On lemmy? Cmon fam. There's barely any anime down here

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

I never see anime stuff, and i don't mind anime so it's not like I've blocked a bunch of places that have it

Hmmm everything is political?

No. Everything is anime.
