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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

For me it is lack of commercial interests (ads hidden in post), lack of bots, and lack of "funny meme and jokes' posts.
This is it for me. The Pavlovian posting and upvoting of shitty jokes in every. single. thread. I haven't bothered with reddit's comment section in years because of it. Here, the comments so far seem chill and appropriate for the posts.
The Narwhal bacons at midnight, fellow hydrohomie
I too choose this man's hydrohomie
I hated this one the most
The same shitty jokes at that, over and over and over again.
That's the other thing, people wouldn't do that if it didn't get them karma every single time. Karma isn't publicly displayed on Lemmy, and if the vision of very spread out communities comes to fruition it also just wouldn't make sense anyway.
Yes, I hope Karma won't be as prominent as on reddit, limiting jokes to those that are appropriate.
