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

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Can't stress this enough. And block based on keywords. My lemmy experience improved dramatically once I started blocking users, subs, and instances I didn't like.

Those users get to enjoy their thing, and I wont yuck their yum. I've managed to cutout most of the rage bait and the stuff in my feed is genuinely interesting.

I already do, and it's great!

It's just that this post evaded all my filters anyway thanks to phrasing :D
