Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

    If hookers could talk Linux to me, or even better, help me resolve my fucking display issue, I’d be giving them money hand over fist.

    Literally

    And figuratively

      Heck, I’d probably be a repeat customer and have them help me rice my Linux install.

      Who’s got time for sex when there’s ricing to be done!

        You can do both. A fresh install and sex take about the same amount of time.

              If your installation process lasts for more than four hours, better consult your disk doctor.

                If all else fails, you might have to resort to the double dd to recover from a failing disk!

      If you need help, I saw a fucking display in Amsterdam one time and could give you some pointers.

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.

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.
