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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers

Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.

I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌

Yup I will usually happily walk into a rick roll. I just enjoy the music. lol

Idc what anyone says... It's a good song

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, the song is a banger

Yeah if I get a hunch that the link I'm clicking is a Rick roll, I'm disappointed if it's not

I wrote a tamper monkey script to detect rick rolls lol

Sad reality indeed that to punk an online user with this classic requires for the said user to be tech savvy

Wrong! I blocked the link with my adblock.
