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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've run into a handful on here ... but they're always downvoted to oblivion, and even their sealioning comments often get removed by mods.

I think since 2015-16, the hardcore redditors are now experts on seeing trolling. I bet the mods are no stranger here either.

That has to be it. The Nazi bar story has been making the rounds too.

Just a reminder for everyone, not you specifically: Respond once, twice if you absolutely must, to clarify and then you walk away. If you're explaining over and over, everyone is losing.

Yeah, you just get deep comment chains that don't add anything to the discussion. Just clicking, and clicking ... and it's just noise.

Good lord, could you imagine?
