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

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

Privacy services are sometimes hard to learn so people will just decide to go back to the old days. I imagine that it will be easier in a group.

Mao Zedong was able to take over China as a result of the Long Walk.

It’s my pet theory that BDNF-mediated hippocampal densification is behind a lot of social revolutions.

If you want to become a populist leader, find an excuse to walk a thousand miles. Secret ingredient to any populist uprising: the legwork.
