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

I've started turning away from so many sites because they have a CAPTCHA. There are a few sites that are worth it enough to do demeaning work but as I get more fed up they get more rare.

Of course I probably show up as a "blocked threat" on these site's dashboards. So they probably aren't getting the message.

There are very few legitimate usage for CAPTCHAs, but fear mongering CAPTCHA services are trying to convince non-technical people that they are required.
