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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The problem with using YT videos is that they are transitory. Also, you're then subjecting your reader to somebody else's advertisements for their gain.
Also YT follows the same rules as Wikipedia for being a source.
You don't cite it, you find what it's citing and cite that if you decide what those sources have to say are relevant to your intended argument.
