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

Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

This reminds me of Innuendo Studios' latest offering (yes Ian Danskin is sharing some videos again!) Why Don't You Respond To Criticism?.

Yep. See also: sea-lioning, the gish gallop, and a myriad of other tactics used by the far-right.

Also, another of my favorite quotes:

I'm not doing homework for you. I've known you for 30 seconds and enjoyed exactly none of them.

Self-curating my social media experience is self-care.

Hahaha absolutely yes! That series is hands-down my absolute favorite of all of YouTube, which is really saying something next to the likes of Kurzgesagt and Crash Course series. Also Ian Danskin's other videos like the agency / protagony one - chef's kiss! 😘
