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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Tldr your novella of regressive FUD.

my true TL;DR is that i think there are probably better and more apt things to focus on.

You can’t get a perfect solution so you refuse to accept any solution is the Hallmark of the disingenuous redpill in disguise.

i'm not asking for one, i'm just positing that i don't think this is the most optimal and productive way to go about solving our problems at the moment. I feel like we're stepping a little bit too far forward in the grand scheme of things with this one.

Also i like that you call me red pill, very funny. I'm way to nihilistic to be red pill but ok.

Go sell your snake oil elsewhere

unfortunately i'm fresh out of snake oil, i sold it all to smurf accounts (and it was laced with a carcinogen)

Still peddling FUD?

IDK, I didn't read it. Piss off with your disingenuous "no solution is good enough" anti-progressive bullshit

idk maybe you'll have to read it and find out. Maybe i should start writing furry smut in these posts though, you would probably read them then.
