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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It'd be cool, and fun, if all of Lemmy had a certain no-politics day. (lemm.ee)

Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

I'd love to see more users / activity in the non-political niche and hobby communities. That's my holiday wish.

The 3d printing community is awesome and very active. Thanks ro them I fix my shitty printer. They help me so much every time I do something dumb and fuck my printer up.

Yes, I have noticed a lot of activity in that community! I do some resin printing myself. Most folks in there appear to be using filament, but I'm grateful they are so active.

It's not too surprising that some dedicated DIY 3d printing "maker" type people gravitate towards the fediverse.

I use both. Love the resin one, Hate the fdm with all my heart

Are we making wishes for Halloween now?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Holiday wish??? Dude. It's October! This is spooky season, then it's turkey season THEN holiday season!

My rule of thumb is that anyone who puts up christmas decorations before Black Friday is a massive asshole, who sucks dick.....but not very well. They use a lot of teeth in their blowjobs, because they have no sense of how things are supposed to be. They do things nobody wants.

That's why you gotta wait until black friday. For now, it's all about black cats, and murder. Blood is a decoration! Also, pumpkin spice.....for some reason....

LOOK! I DON'T MAKE THE RULES!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should definitely tell Costco, who had Christmas decorations out in fucking JULY!

Ok......I know Everette True is just a comic, but I'm REALLY channeling his spirit hearing that....

Spooky holiday is still a holiday
