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

Me too, buddy

Now that Reddit’s been made obsolete,

Our new usernames can be discreet

So, make your name right

The future looks bright

You're not "Poem_for_your_sprog" are you? Just made your username "right" this time?

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.

Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!

Couldn't get the username you wanted? It's probably available on another federated instance.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I don’t want to get crabs on any instance

Completely understand why people would want to change their names. But why mess with perfection in my case?

But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(

I don't understand on why on a website where you can be anyone that you would choose to be something gross.

That would have been waaaay funnier if it came from an account named sexybabyboy92

I made sure not to use my real name this time. I had too much karma when I realized how dumb a move that was.
