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.

We did it Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

Perhaps this is a dark thought... but I'm wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to "We did it Reddit!" or "Thanks for the gold kind stranger!" will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it's unavoidable.

I have thought about, what if we set up a similar gold system that donated money to the Lemmy software, and the instance owner to help cover costs? I'm sure we'd collectively ruin it though.

I think this could be a good idea. As Lemmy gains traction it will get more expensive to maintain an instance, grossly so for the "main" instances. People can donate directly, but a reward system could help improve donations.
