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:

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.

Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people's brains. It is extremely powerful.

There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It's been happening for many years ... maybe centuries.

The effects can linger for many years. Even passing to the next generation.

Holly creeps shilling regime talking points since they were established.

The thing is that most people accepted the regime so they "art" was fine enough.

Now that common pleb is starting to turn on clown regime, all of sudden they are not into trash Hollywood is shilling

They are also starting to notice that every new "it" celeb is a fucking nepo baby, and that just adds insult to injury

They expect you to live in poverty while worshiping some third generation's crotch fruits "talent"
