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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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 bean posting could be a reddit counterattack to get people to return to reddit. (ani.social)

I don't know how I didn't think of this be for, but the Lemmy bean posting could be a psyop that reddit is trying to get people to return to them after switching to Lemmy

I see a bunch of people talking about the beans, but I actually have yet to see a bean post. Where are people seeing all of these posts coming from?

I have a feeling that you may have invited it yourselves by joining a bunch of meme and shitposting communities. You shouldn't really be surprised if you end up seeing a bunch of memes and shitposts.

The bean posts have died down after around 36 hours. I've seen a few today compared to them being everywhere 24 hours ago here lol
