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-----

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)

Because they are wise in the ways of the world.

As long as both remain free and open source I'll allow it.

Let's be honest, that sounds like heaven.

If hookers could talk Linux to me, or even better, help me resolve my fucking display issue, I'd be giving them money hand over fist.

Literally

And figuratively

Heck, I'd probably be a repeat customer and have them help me rice my Linux install.

Who's got time for sex when there's ricing to be done!

"No sex, tech support is my companionship!"

[–] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can do both. A fresh install and sex take about the same amount of time.

Some of us still have Hard Drives. O_o

If your installation process lasts for more than four hours, better consult your disk doctor.

If all else fails, you might have to resort to the double dd to recover from a failing disk!

If you need help, I saw a fucking display in Amsterdam one time and could give you some pointers.

I love how this entire comment chain went lol

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

The Fediverse is so fun!!!

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Even Hookers need scheduling and accounting.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That'd be us Unix socks people.
