    TikTok is just Vine but in a time where every child has a phone capable of making their own videos, as well as AI generated bullshit. There’s some genuinely good content there, but you have to wade through an ocean of shit to find it.

    But, I mean… The same could be said of YouTube, too.

          Why not? How are the dank memes and and doom posting that much better? Because there isn’t enough content to create an entirely endless stream?

      Brainrot for babies. Don’t google it. You’ll be much happier not knowing.

        Specifically, it’s a really bad YouTube nursery rhyme cartoon for toddlers. It’s heavily addictive but totally vapid. Not everything young kids watch needs to be edutainment, but Cocomelon is obnoxious brainrot that kids love and adults hate.

            Imagine if Caillou had dead, dead eyes. That’s cocomelon.

            Caillou is actually made be people who are at least trying to do something useful. Coconelon is made by people with a meth dealer mentality.

    Ice cold take stolen from other media.

    Not that I am disagreeing or anything.

    Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?

    So deep. So edgy.

    For real, what makes this website of shitty memes, anime porn, and Linux circlejerks any better than short form media?

    I’m not a big proponent of tiktok, but posting on Lemmy with an heir air of superiority is beyond laughable.

      Short form videos are objectively bottom tier. Sprinkle on a state of the art algorithm to maximize addicition and engagement bait, and yeah, it’s worse in every way.

        I’m not for it. I’m also not about social outcasts patting each other on the back for posting Garfield without Garfield comics daily.

        If you’re attacking spelling, you’ve already lost the argument.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
