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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I unironically like Rick Astley period. I will not link to them because people will think I'm rickrolling, but check out his covers of Uptown Funk, Everlong and Ain't No Sunshine on YouTube because holy fuck. Especially the first one because singing a song with that few spaces to breathe live floors me.

They killed it by monetizing it. Unless you're a chump who pays or only use newpipe or something it's just ads first. Fuck the Internet.

Listening to whoever reads his eulogy will probably also keep people on edge.

It's too late - somebody tried that scam years ago:

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!

That's some quality shower thought!

Who passes around links to an obituary??

This is a Fortune 500 Company that specializes in it:

Wow some of those distribution methods are insane, but the prices are crazy.
