Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

That's my experience trying to find any specific subject matter on lemmy, google tries to relate it to Motorhead.

are you guys just not aware you can filter by site?

guitar site:lemmy.world

That doesn't help with all the different Lemmy instances, but searching on a Lemmy instance does... Well, the search function is janky so it works kinda, but it searches a lot of Lemmy instances alright!

It should work fine. Filtering by one instance will show all Lemmy content. You can use a script to ensure you always land back on your instance.

I was actually completely unaware of that. Thanks!

I've had middling results using "Lemmy Fediverse" in search strings instead of just "Lemmy". You still get a lot of Motorhead though.

just filter by your instance, e.g google thing_youre_interested_in site:sh.itjust.works
