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

I remember when people made the effort to be nice on Reddit as well. Opinions were valued and courtesy was extended with a benefit of the doubt, before it turned into a "not up for discussion" shithole. It was like watching someone get wealthy with their fuck you money, and then the community went to shit as mods got tired of trolls, opinions were no longer valued, and the echo chamber effect became amplified.
And to build off lemons post, all activity is transparent. If curious you can see who down voted you/your post/comment. Makes trolls easier to block.
And the nice thing is if you do see trolls, don't feed them, just block them and move on. This place is so much less stressful when you remove the bad actors.
I've had people mass downvote all my comments. IDGAF about that though
Let me guess - you commented on something posted on lemmygrad? :P
