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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.
I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌
Yup I will usually happily walk into a rick roll. I just enjoy the music. lol
Sad reality indeed that to punk an online user with this classic requires for the said user to be tech savvy
Wrong! I blocked the link with my adblock.
Lazy, I just recognize the url from getting rick rolled so much.

XcQ, link stays blue
A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.
Went to demo it only tk discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard
lmao that's a good one
Eh, too much work.
XcQ, no thank you!
