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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers (lemmy.ml)

Maybe because jeans wearers don't spam up every thread about clothing with "JUST WEAR JEANS!"

They propably would if a common topic of discussion was "this is how leggings have got worse today"

I've only been on lemmy for a short time but I haven't seen any Linux users spamming any threads that way. This complaint is the first sign I've seen that anybody even has that idea. It reminds me of crusty old farts who see a gay character in a sitcom and say OMG it's all about the gays now!!!
