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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don’t think you understand how communities work. Conversations get repeated all the time in communities.
A community for determining the answer to each question once should be structured like stack exchange.
Reddit is a place for discussion.
reddit is a link aggregator. its for people to find links, post them to relevant groups who then evaluate the quality and relevance of that post, and then vote to bring it up or down in the feeds of people subscribed to that group. that's how reddit works. its a very poor way to hold discussions because it means any unpopular opinion gets downvoted by ignoramuses who don't understand that they're evaluating for quality not for agreement. reddit is not a place for discussion.
Then what are we doing here, right now?
being unproductive.
Exactly. Reddit was designed as a leisure activity not a tool to get work done.
You've completely lost the plot.
I’m enjoying myself. You’re not accomplishing anything. I’m fine over here based on my goals.
