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

Best reason ever to be rid of TikTok.

Well that, and the fact that its a Chinese PsyOp to sow discord and manipulate people into ridiculous, insane behaviors.

Everything is doing it already. Good luck watching a "horizontal" video uploaded to Instagram from your desktop browser.

Why'd you use a Facebook piece of crap like instagram to begin with?

I don't use it actively (I'm not even logged in) but a good bunch of my friends keep sending me links. It would sound pretty mean if I just refused to open so many links to so many people on so many platforms (I consider TikTok even worse). I was talking about the phenomenon in general and brought up Instagram as an example.

Just wait until I release the landscape video platform of... YokYik!
