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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don't really have an issue with them being unkind, to me the zealotry is what's toxic.
Yeah they're very strongly opinionated.
Strongly opinionated, and unwilling to elaborate or have actual discussion about their opinions, just insults and accusations towards any disagreement, and I get the sense that they do this out of principle.
yeah, they remind me of /b/ from 2006
"toxic", "opinionated", "unwilling to listen", /b/
Just call them what they are: angsty teens.
