/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

Except that this isn't the beginning of voat. It's been around for a while now.

About a year or so now.

Eh, like six months. Before that, it was woahverse.

That was my impression too, but didn't want to put a date on it since I wasn't sure.

I was a late comer to Reddit and as such always felt like an outsider while everyone had their piles of sweet sweet karma. I would sit in the corner shaking my upvote tin, "please sir, spare an updoot?". They'd always walk past without even so much as a glance. 1 upvote a day kept me alive until Voat came along.
But now, being here... well I'm my own man. I've got a full time job, nice house, fancy upgoat car! I'm one of the first wave people. I had my 100CCP before the second wave even hit. Sure there were some dark days while the play pen got upgraded, but I share my upgoats among the newcomers. I've been on the other side of the karma fence, I don't wish that upon anyone.

I spared an upvoat, please don't spend it on dank memes or booze.

I think anyone with the Alpha Badge can be considered for getting here when it was new.

I love this site so far but I will be very surprised if my kids end up using it. People thought this about MySpace, Facebook, reddit and so on. My niece, who is 17, using Facebook maybe once or twice a week whereas she uses Instagram throughout the day. I asked her about reddit a year or so ago and she had no clue what it was about though she'd heard of it. I asked her later if she ever went there and she had no desire. I just don't think a lot of sites have longevity and that's the natural cycle. Eventually it reaches saturation point and people move on to other things.

Back in the "Old Days" We would have to wait and beg for upvotes before we could participate.
Some times the Net was Slow Uploading and Downloading.
Voat would go dark for hours at a time.
And there was no such thing as FPH or E PAO.
My, How Times Have Changed!

I think Jaden Smith stole your comment there at the end.
