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.

Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers

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

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

Wow, a legitimate use case for shorts.

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

Omg did you just reinvent YouTube?!?

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Thank you. I needed this.

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

You aren't doing youtube correctly.

PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube

Mobile: revanced, newpipe

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Venicon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Veritrax@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I give up, this has really let me down.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 2 years ago

I run around, and desert YouTube.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Gave you the runaround?
