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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
Posts must be original/unique

Its the username I wanted on reddit. Blast whoever had it there, vengeance is mine!

[–] IveGotRedOnMe@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

My Reddit name was “ihaveredonme” which is not how British people would say it.

Jeroba is dope so far

Jerboa works well since last lemmy update which reduced the amount of packets needed.

I barely changed mine but I heard that you can't trust someone with boy in their name and also I grew older so it was time to change mine.

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are people this averse to making a new account?

Seems like privacy-oriented Lemmy wouldn't care that much but even Reddit with its karma system wasn't that big of a hurdle to new accounts

Edit: apparently Lemmy DOES actually have a karma system

[–] ike@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can't beat first name for a main non-anonymous account
