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

It's too late - somebody tried that scam years ago:
Huge Astley's Dead Scam
glad I checked the hyperlink. XcQ link stays blue
If you open YouTube links in a new tab Firefox, they don't autoplay. It's very easy to avoid getting tricked in all sorts of ways if you do that and apparently the algorithm doesn't care unless you actually start the video.
This is actually pretty scary, viewer discretion is advised.
Wow, I can't believe he had that many people fooled!
