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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I like those metrics. Means I got like 500k upvotes in three weeks... but then I'm on https://kbin.social, so a bunch of that's coming from Mastodon, and kbin's community loves to upvote. That's ok - I fully accept the false affirmation of fake internet point inflation.
I'm on Lemmy and I love to upvote.
Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?
Yep - each post has an activity section that lists boosts, reduces (Mastodon style instances) and favorites (upvotes - Lemmy style instances) and the users who made them. Upvotes are under the favorites tab. Examples:
