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

Actually....doing this is great for security and privacy. Especially for more sensitive logins. Use a password manager.
Yea, in all seriousness, I did it for privacy. Also, if I frequently change usernames, it makes sense not to use up desired usernames that others would want

Yea ive been thinking of getting a different account for here as ive used sol87 for years, this is a public area so big tech and others can still scrape our data from here for maintaining their "advertiesing" profiles or whatever else they do with our data.
