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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Bookmarks and search engines serve different purposes, though search engines can replace bookmarks. But the main purpose of a search engine is to find sites you've never been to before because they contain specific information you're looking for.

I'm saying previously you may have not bookmarked it because you'd be confident you can easily find that info again. Now that search sucks, you may not be able to find it again. So you'll bookmark good information.
