    So deep. So edgy.

    For real, what makes this website of shitty memes, anime porn, and Linux circlejerks any better than short form media?

    I’m not a big proponent of tiktok, but posting on Lemmy with an heir of superiority is beyond laughable.

      Is there an heiress of superiority? Is she single?

      Please don’t put words in OP’s mouth. Especially misspelt words. Thank you.

        If you’re attacking spelling, you’ve already lost the argument.

      Short form videos are objectively bottom tier. Sprinkle on a state of the art algorithm to maximize addicition and engagement bait, and yeah, it’s worse in every way.

        I’m not for it. I’m also not about social outcasts patting each other on the back for posting Garfield without Garfield comics daily.

            I’m not acting like I’m better than anyone

              Maybe, but you are projecting quite a bit.

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

  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.
