newspapers used to be pretty terrible in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Periodism is still terrible, not in the form of newspapers, but the internet, and it's why you usually end your searches with a 'reddit' at the end (hopefully lemmy will fully replace that soon)

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
