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
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Right now the first three or four pages in my feed are almost nothing but pictures of cats in boxes. Which is fine, but it’s hardly brilliant discourse.
Change your sort options. Your lemmy experience will change drastically depending on whether you're sorting by hot, active, top, etc.
I love cats but I had to filter those subs. I don't want my feed to be 1/2 generic pictures of animals I can't pet.
