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

It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

The 3d printing community is awesome and very active. Thanks ro them I fix my shitty printer. They help me so much every time I do something dumb and fuck my printer up.

Yes, I have noticed a lot of activity in that community! I do some resin printing myself. Most folks in there appear to be using filament, but I'm grateful they are so active.

It's not too surprising that some dedicated DIY 3d printing "maker" type people gravitate towards the fediverse.
