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.

Valve invented or normalised a ton of crap that's plaguing modern gaming: game launchers, always online DRM, microtransactions, achivements, lootboxes...

I'm not saying you should stop using Steam. Go ahead, buy the Frame, VR is awesome and it looks like a really solid headset, but do it without kissing Gabe's ass if you can. Corpos are not your friends.

whats wrong with game achivments?

For me, it's when people complain that a game/system/platform doesn't have them. Some games and systems don't need or want to gamify playing games and that's okay

There is no such thing as a good billionaire. There are billionaires who might be temporarily aligned with you but make no mistake, none of them will love you back..

There's a real easy way for him to not be eaten. Make sure he has no more than $999, 999,999 in his pocket when we get there

But that's haaaaard.

You guys are much less understanding than I expected. Bleeding hearts, my ass...

Bleeding hearts always clot surprisingly fast when it comes to those they don't like.
