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

Reddit is like the ex they cant get over. Lemmy is reddit now.
There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It's just the Circle of Life.
What was Digg?
It was a lot like a proto reddit. They made a bunch of changes to monetize and there was a mass exodus to reddit
15 years ago it was THE place to mindlessly scroll and see cool tech articles and other things. Before they got greedy.
Oh that I wish it were. Lemmy is improving, but it does not even approach the quantity and diversity of content Reddit has.
I'm finding it better. Yeah, there's less content and diversity, but the quality feels a lot better. I'm interested in a much larger share of the posts I see.
Same. I sort Lemmy by new and like most of the posts. On reddit, new is all AskReddit drivel.
True, l just post something to seed some data
