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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I boosted from 1k karma to 20k by searching 'pun' on every top joke each day for a week.

It's enough that good/bad posts get boosted up/down by votes without them generating Karma.

Intelligent answers aren't always the most popular...

Reddit karma wasn't about popularity or intelligence. It was about who got there first. If you shotgun enough comments into brand new threads your karma will skyrocket.

Also, making comments on the top comments. Plus that's the only way for new replies to have visibility once a thread has over ~1000 replies.
