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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

MODERATORS
WTH are you trying to say?
At a wild guess, that you may upvote a comment that you support – but there's a second part that you wouldn't agree with. Or that people should split up their comments so that people can upvote/downvote individual parts?
Thank you. Take your 0.667 of an upvote.
Hi. I'd like to buy 51% of your stake of this upvote at 2x the current market value. This is an investment proposal and you have to accept now, I don't have time for negotiations as I'm an important businessman conducting business.
Rest assured me and my firm will not use our majority hold on your upvote to change or sway your held beliefs or writing style. Our lawyers do advise you that we absolutely have this power, though.
Anyways, sign here please.
I think OP is referring to comment where multiple talking points are made, but you can’t selectively apply your upvote/downvote to specific parts of the comment. You either upvote it all, or downvote it all.
So if I start talking about how pineapple is ok on a pizza, a downvote for this take also means you downvote how I’m trying to clarify OP’s message.
Down with pineapple, 0.5 upvote.
Yes. This is what I mean.
I hope I made it clearer by editing the post. Let me know if it's still not clear :)
