Showerthoughts

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.

Omg did you just reinvent YouTube?!?

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Thank you. I needed this.

I don’t mind adverts for free services but YouTube take the piss now.

And Amazon. Paying Prime members still have to watch ads.

What ticks me off is Stack TV. I pay for it and I still get huge ads on the bottom and right edges, telling me to subscribe to Stack TV.

[–] Venicon@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Same in UK for Sky. You have to be a Sky TV customer (paying) to use the Android or iOS Sky Go app and it still makes you watch adverts without skipping.

I give up, this has really let me down.

Gave you the runaround?

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 9 months ago

I run around, and desert YouTube.

Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers

If you're seeing ads on YouTube, you're doing it wrong.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You aren't doing youtube correctly.

PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube

Mobile: revanced, newpipe

How does one Rick roll people who don’t do YouTube correctly, which is most everyone?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Those people? We don't interact with those people.

I can't believe I'm about to suggest this, but use a YouTube short version since those don't have ads.

Such as: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SXHMnicI6Pg

[–] elvith@feddit.org 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Nice! May I recommend you share that with all of our professional rickrollers? (Or may I share it there?)

Tenor's has a guide that shows you how to make a full video link into a Shorts style link to not have ads at the beginning: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 0 points 9 months ago

Wow, a legitimate use case for shorts.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

I know theres a github page. I believe its shatterdisk? When i was in school they firewalled youtube. So i found alternatives to rick roll.

Where there is a rick roll There is a rick way

Tenor had a good video guide of how to skip ads for short videos on YouTube with link changes. I used it to Rick Roll a friend once, not sure if it still works, though: https://media.tenor.com/x8v1oNUOmg4AAAAM
