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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Lmao. The furthest you could possibly get from socialism is nazism. Got any logic or proof to back up your claim? Marxists, socialists, communists and other assorted leftists were among Hitler's first targets in the night of the long knives. Also, the famous poem, "first they came for the socialists..."

Try again.

False. The Nazis were the socialist party in Germany. They were left wing

Poor trolling. Do you have any evidence they were socialist? Anything more convincing than me calling myself a unicorn and expecting you to believe me?

LOL pointing out the fact that the National Socialist German Workers' Party is socialist is... Trolling? Get out of here when your trolling

Oh, boy, I was waiting for this. I even pre-empted it.

I claim to be a unicorn. Am I then, a unicorn?

How avout the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Are they democratic? They must be! It's in the name!

No one would ever lie about what they are! I say this as a pegasus.
