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.

We did it Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

Perhaps this is a dark thought... but I'm wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to "We did it Reddit!" or "Thanks for the gold kind stranger!" will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it's unavoidable.

The Lemmings suicide thing is actually a myth, made up for views by some documentary crew who forced Lemmings off a cliff. I looked the source up a while ago and that is what I found as information. I hope we can restore their reputation so I keep telling people.

Now what I do like is this:

When the concentration of lemmings becomes too high in one area, a large group will set out in search of a new home.

That‘s so fitting to our situation, in a way. Let‘s hope the fediverse is a good home.
