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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

I know what you mean. It's good but not TOO good. Proper proportions of honey and shit.

After thinking about that it would be cool if that became feature somehow.
Limiting how many posts you can see per community on Lemmy
Being able to switch between seeing all post, a few, or none to help with curbing online addiction
it is nice having Enough content
Same.
LOve that endless scrolling is an option and not a forced setting.
Exactly how I feel!
Same, I much prefer paged scrolling as well, its easier to control or measure how much you scroll.
While do find myself using Lemmy a little too much, because of the lack of time-wasting and dopamime-hitting algorithms, I find less incentive to spend more time on Lemmy and other Fediverse socials.
The opportunities for discussions and such is fun, but I miss the memes from Reddit. Lemmy is almost painfully unfunny.
The current scale of Lemmy is appealing. It doesn't have the same breadth but I happily trade the toxic elements of Reddit, etc, for a little breadth.
I never though of it like this. But I like thinking of it this way. I am excited to watch lemmy grow though. I have faith that it will go and become a lot more popular. At that time, it will be nice to have more niche communities that are active.

I take posts for weeks at a time because I've literally seen everything.
