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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Whenever I find an obnoxious captcha, I just leave the page after two failed attempt (not really failed, but you know how it is, the system decides that you have to repeat the captcha again).
The problem is with certain services (like GoG) that I've had for years but that lately don't want VPNs because reasons and will keep forcing the captchas indefinitely even when I'm login or redeeming a game. Those are the worst, and honestly? They are only harming themselves with them. I don't buy from them anymore because last time I wanted to login to buy something, I had to go through a least 20 captchas just to login (and, of course, the audio captcha wouldn't work because that would make me "skip" the whole ordeal). After that I decided to go to gog only if there is a game that they are giving away and I really want.
