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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The distinction that has been made here is that "NSFW" only means "pornography

Who has made this distinction? NSFW in my opinion is anything that is, you know, not safe for work.

That would include pretty much any explicit content. Extreme gore for example would be another type of content which isn't really safe for work.

Probably also images of self harm.

However, alot of content on Lemmy doesn't fall in to the above criteria, so it is 'safe' for work. Just like how light magazines are appropriate for work, but a porn mag isn't.
