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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The problem with leaving it blank is that it harms communication if the other party doesn't have that symbol. You may send it because it exists in your country but then they have no idea what you mean.
Maybe having a "tofu" missing character box is ok, but even then if a substantial amount of the world's population isn't going to have this character it maybe be best to leave it out.
That being said, I am still in favour.
