Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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 never thought about that before. I wonder how many were actually important.

Would that bot even be functional long term with the API changes?

[–] vsp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awww, man.

Now I'm sad.

Thanks a lot, @orion2145. Not cool.

I’m right there with you. Can’t unthink it.

It was sort of ambitious for people to think they'd be on reddit with the same account in 20 years

[–] gk99@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I don't think so, reddit was so dominant that had they simply not decided to anger all their power users, we'd all still be on there like nothing had changed. A good platform has staying power, I've been on Steam for 16 years and I have no plans of bailing on it because it's simply the best gaming platform I've ever used. It's not game lock-in or anything, most of my games I could buy elsewhere or pirate, I just like having the features and all these other ones popping up like GOG Galaxy still aren't overtaking it despite the good PR.

Capitalism killed it. That's how things go. They are great for a while then get too big and have to keep growing for some reason. The pursuit of perpetual growth ruins everything

Agreed. Have been on Steam for almost 19 years. Nothing has really degraded as far as the service goes, and Valve's approach to listening to community feedback is good. We've saw controversy, mainly Paid Mods and CS:GO gambling, both have been taken care of for the most part due to community pushback. I can't think of a controversy that has made me want to leave the service though. With Reddit, it was a slow decline to its death on July 1st.

Not gonna lie, it was the will Reddit fiasco that has me concerned about my game library when Gabe goes

[–] Onionizer@geddit.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When I buy a game I now always look first if there's a DRM-free version on GOG
