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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

So is this community just going through Reddit and verbatim reposting old threads?

This place needs content, can't have your cake and eat it too. Just unfollow the reddit sub if you don't want to see it.

What do you mean with the cake thing in this context?

I beleive they mean you can't expect there to be content and also expect it to be fresh and new.

I think "have your cake and eat it too" is a little ill fitting but its the general gist of wanting something and then wanting it in another way which is not compatible with the first way.

Just wait until the bots get here, hoo boy.

Followed by ad companies making shower thoughts about their products.

Followed by Propaganda accounts having shower thoughts not about Tiannamen Square.

I'm hoping bots won't be too much of a thing, because farming account karma isn't a thing. There will be some, but hopefully it's not literally everything like Reddit was by the end.

Lemmygrad seems to be full of tankies and has been here for a long time...

Let me make it feel like home: “triscuits are just savory shredded wheat” ™

Reddit front page was also a bunch of old Reddit threads/memes getting reposted. Feels just like home.

What do you think the name is? (I have already) red it!

Fine with me. The posts are new.
