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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

Capitalism reduces everything to transactional relationships

That’s why I only consume commie porn.

This is more a side effect of having to monitize your hobbies to afford to live

90% are sex workers but you're right. Mods should ban any account that has external links meant to sell something. Gonewild was about having fun and now it went to shit like reddit.

Edit: Same thing for amateur communities. I report them as spam, it's annoying.

Clearly there needs to be a market place that works better than filling up other socials. It would take very progressive movement to pull sex work out of dark places where sketchy people go and just give a place that sellers and buyers can find and connect easily, safely and that prevents users and abusers from corrupting it.

that won't happen as long as it's seen as something unholy, sinful, bad, shameful.

But that's a much harder sell in an environment where orange clown has as much support and unbridled hate for humanity itself
