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

Yeah, but have you seen the state of it recently? It's a shell of its former self

Maybe but it's almost a $2trillion dollar company. Might be a shell, but it's popular.

"Addictive, coercive and profitable" ≠ Popular.

that's Meta, not Facebook. I'd say now FB is one of their least valuable assets.

Maybe Zuck should add some legs to fb too

As someone who joined Facebook way back when it was brand spanking new to the public: It's always sucked. I don't even remember a single person who chose it over MySpace until way later on when they added games to FB.

I'll fight you over Farmville. Jk, no you're right. FB died in the womb. The moment our parents found out about it.

No, and I don't intend to. Fuck that place.

I have not, thankfully.
