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 open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).

I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it's been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I'll get back to eventually).

Honestly, I exaggerated for humor. Eventually I do get all my tabs closed, either by reading them (or whatever), or sometimes they don't interest me anymore. My tabs are basically a queue (a stack actually!) of things to do

Those are rookie numbers. I have 10+ windows.
