I suppose this is your attempt at an unpopular opinion? Such a pause gives weight to the sentence, allows you to draw people's attention to the next words, and also allows you to think better about what you are going to say, so...

Maybe they're just enthusiastic about the seminal Peter Gabriel album.

No, but I like movies about gladiators.

Drives me crazy. It’s a way to cause drama rather rather using words to communicate what you want say.

Agreed. It's the rhetorical equivalent of canned spaghetti.

Showerthoughts

35881 readers
1839 users here now

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.
