Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Add gaming while you're at it. I'm a former gamer but I'm in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.

Reddit had a keyword option to filter out items. I had cat in there and it worked for years. Was pretty simple. Not sure if it was part of the third party app I used or internal to Reddit. Either way it was effective.

I'd rather just a "Hide Thread" button but I can't find one.

I made a post like this not long ago, specifically about hiding all sports communities, yeah.

That's weird I don't see any sports content. But both filters would be appreciated.

lol yea I keep blocking the sports bots that post game stats, it took ages cause each team has their own bot but I seem to have blocked all of them at this point

I would like a hide previous posts option. So many things are reposted.

Meanwhile the dozens of us hockey fans don't see anything about our sport. :(

Both would be even better...
