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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel like I'm the only person on lemmy who hasn't experienced an outtage issue.
Did I just pick the best instance or something??
My small instance had some instability while Beehaw was being botspammed in the random magazine. My instance's administrator explained that it was related to how Lemmy handles banned accounts in a very database inefficient manner. I think he also has an update not go as smoothly as anticipated once. But Lemmy.world being the largest instance gets the pleasure of discovering new scaling challenges as it grows
But, the big thing with the outages is I just went "oh okay, I'll just do something else then" just like the couple of times I experienced a reddit outage. I don't think it's as much a thing as the memes make it in both cases
