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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I thought it was an imgur thing.
As with a lot of things on imgur, it started on reddit.
Imgur literally started because a redditor wanted a place to host images for reddit posts, eventually turning into its own community, but with an interface largely based on reddit stuff (upvotes, downvotes, cake day, etc).
It's crazy, cuz I've been am imgurian for 11 years and just got on reddit as it was shutting down.
