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.

I am quite a data hoarder, but I take so many screenshots that I'll probably never look at again, and it occurred to me that this might be my generation's "printing emails" thing.

My fiancee refuses to use a Notes app on her mobile phone. Instead, she SMS texts notes to her own number.

She also likes to screenshot and text news headlines instead of copy / paste.

Probably a habit from the dark ages: there is an entire generation (15 years if you were rich in 1998 and poor in 2013) of phones where SMS is the longest freeform text storage available, and only 1 draft can exist at a time, hence the sending.

I blame that on the note taking app, and i use mine regularly.

Honestly, I SMS myself occasionally 😬

Know any good notes apps?

I really like Obsidian.md

Apparently it got bought by Proton, but Standard Notes has been my brain dump forum for years now. I love it

That's awful. They were the no bullshit "we're independent forever" note application and they sold themselves to Proton. Shame.
