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

If they haven't gotten into this habit in the last 20 years anyways, I don't think the SEO spam was that last straw. That ship has sailed.
People are born everyday. Grandma may have had 20 years to figure it out, but kids these days won't have the opportunity to search the web and find information the way we did.
True, but the people born recently have existed with some kind of search capabilities, unlike grandma. They might not be able to optimize their queries like us, but they've still got ways to figure it out. They have habits, just different ones.
Grandma is the one who never bothered making the habit, because she was used to a time when no habit was possible.
