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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not exactly the same thing but... People are already referring to Lemmy users as "Lemmings" which, yeah it makes sense... But it also has some stereotypes associated with it that aren't what I'd like to be associated with, you know?
I can already imagine it being used in a phrase with something about jumping off cliffs and being brainless followers and whatnot. Especially with this exodus situation. lol
There actually was some talk about calling each community "c/liffs." Likely won't stick, but, i get where you're coming from. I think Lemmings in this context feels harmless enough, for me atleast. Anything is better at this point than referring to yourself as a "Redditor"
