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.

I would assume their totals aren't going to change much but thry'll lose some number of users from the UK and gain a more or less equal number of users from a seemingly random snd ever-changing assortment of other countries.

As far as genre statistics and the like go, I wouldn't expect them to change other than as they generally do, just as tastes and trends change.

I'd bet on legally legit porn sites down, VPNs up. It might be a trend that continues for a few years. UK is leading the way but plenty of authoritarian assholes are in charge of other countries too and they're keen to take us all along for this journey. I don't know if it leads to 1984 or more Mad Max but we're going places for sure.

I'm sorry to break it to you mate, but globally it's all of them. The one the UK's heading down is a hybrid between Children of Men and V for Vendetta.

Im guna say no based on the entire population of the UK amounts to less than 1% of the world population. Idk what % of world population uses pornhub but I assume its the #1 pornsite in most countries.

Is gammon porn what the Brits are into these days? Wouldn't have been my first guess, not that there's anything wrong with that.
