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

Keep posting them, but we should just copy the text and link to the source instead of screenshooting a couple of sentences like my mom, no? This would save some disk space and power consumption as well.

Power consumption? Takes more power to make a net connection to go to another site, and takes a LOT longer.

Plus, following links drives traffic and provides even more tracking.

Just copy paste the smartfunny words. 99% of the time I'm not interested in the nickname of the person nor their avatar, so you source-link only because it's nice. :)
