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

MODERATORS
I hail from the days of BBS (Fidonet days), text based internet, email, Newsgroups (Eternal September Survivor), Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, now here. It's all about what you have to contribute, how you communicate, and how you present yourself.
I'm torn between "hey that's ageism" and "yeah! those younger than me can rot in hell"
I came after Reddit broke Google. Or more correctly: reddit fixed Google, but then broke itself. Dunno about kids.
I loved reddit but there were definitely times where it felt like I was in a high school cafeteria.

Huh... I just thought everyone here was just well spoken and kind
Upfront it's like that. You can still "make the wrong comment" and get attacked by people for extended periods of time who seem to have nothing better to do than dig through huge threads looking to argue with strangers who are already getting downvoted.
Edit: thankfully it's actually kind of fun having all of them argue with chatGPT.
