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-----

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

I guess you lied when you said I was incensed. I wonder why you lied?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is now weak trolling.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Insulting me won't make a lie true. Sorry. If you didn't lie, you can quote me. But I'm pretty sure you lied.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

'You are not being intellectually honest.'

'When did I say that?'

'Incorrect.'

Again, because I can't trust you to recognize the concept: paraphrasing.

Nope. You said I was incensed. But you had no evidence to that effect. It was a lie. That's okay, lots of people lie.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like you saying I insulted you?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trying to change the subject will not make your lie true either, sorry.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the root subject. It's the thing you were so not-incensed about.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's great, but I'm really only interested in talking about your lie. You're welcome to explain why you lied if you ever admit to it. I'll be interested in that. Otherwise, I'm just going to continue to mostly ignore anything else you have to say. Especially the long posts. Not going to read those at all. Not when they could be lies too.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hypocrisy, then. Grand.

Worthless.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not about your lie.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, because you're the protagonist of reality. Your lies don't count. Even if they're to a mod.

But someone saying you were offended by an imaginary insult, well, stop the presses.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Didn't read that. In fact, I'm just not planning on reading anything else from you and will respond to all future posts with the word 'strawberry.' That should amuse me.
