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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah, it killed my will to participate in the comments. So much of it was those dumb jokes and chains. Originally has left the train a long time ago. I ended up sort of loathing the "humor" on that place.
To me, this felt similar to "clapter comedy", wherein there is no laughter, just applauses. Nothing funny is being actually said, there is no setup, no punchline. It is just people sorta agreeing that something should be funny because they agree with it, and if you're the first yo say it, then all your unfunny friends will give you the thumbs up.
For the record, I am a complete lunatic in real-life who joke about everything and I find almost everything hillarious. It is pretty damn sad that I get no enjoyment from theses.
