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.

The downside of everything being federated is that it's really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

It's Nicole, isn't it?

These are public forums. Anyone can look what's going on here.

This is not a private space.

No one can read this comment but you and me...

Right?

This is my private place. Eveything is neat and clean.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I wish I could say the same. Tissues and lotion everywhere.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 12 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure hexbear was one, the original admin bailed as soon as Trump got elected and they were really big on the don't vote trend.

[–] greybeard@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Please don't underestimate the ignorance and stupidity of the current administration and please stop giving them ideas that they would be unlikely to find on their own.

Thats why you make an account with no info attached to you. And run a vpn. Not fool proof, but better than nothing

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Remember to avoid the ask lemmy posts like:

Whats your favorite pets name, what street did you grow up on, do you like cut or uncut, etc...

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Depends on my mood. Ive never had uncut but am curious. I’m half cut (shaft-wise direction)

Something like Tor, and a proper education in keeping identities compartmentalized would be more appropriate for a use-case where someone is trying to maintain anonymity. VPN is mostly only good for a bit of wifi security and piracy.

theybgonna get real bored if they look at mine

There are also instances that most likely exist just to suck up data for AI/LLM training. People were up in arms about it happening on Reddit and trying to torch their comments when here they’re giving it away for free and there are less bots because it’s a newer platform.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

I honestly don't care as long as the bots don't cause a denial of service

Dear NSA, I'm the CEO of antifa. Please direct all questions and inquiries below. Thanks.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 110 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Dear CEO of antifa, I'm the CEO of the NSA. How do you pronounce "antifa"? We've been really struggling in our meetings. Best regards.

[–] dan00@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago

Its shorthand for “antifascism”. You pronounce it the same without the “scism”. As head of NSA you should know how to say fascism pretty well I think.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I didn’t realize there were alternate pronunciations. Is this like gif level arguments at the NSA meetings?

What are the pronunciations?

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Aunt Tifa vs anti-Fa (a longer way to run)

[–] mogranja@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Upvote for the reference

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago
