For those of us that can spot the URL for "Never Gonna Give You Up" at a glance, we are getting rickrolled without ever clicking the link.

    Same for those who hear the music in their heads whenever they see the title.

        It clearly says Rick. Why do you attempt such low-effort humor?

    Don’t have to recognize the whole URL. XcQ, link stays blue.

    Never understood the joke anyway, though.

    Learning to read at all is just opening yourself up to all sorts of new avenues of attack.

    I… Walked right into that one.

    It was a post talking about “Never Gonna Give You Up.” It mentions Rick rolling on click.

    Clicked the damn link anyway.

    I love the internet

    Maybe the next generation of Rickrolling should involve providing a link to a real video but disguising it to look like the Rickroll link?

      Reverse rickrolling. Only works if rickrolling is still a thing, otherwise people will just click the link ;)

      My ex once got rickrolled in a public bus. I said the song is cool and kept it playing on speakerphone. The whole bus genuinely enjoyed it (people singing along), nobody complained :)

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.
