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-----

It struck me that the political reason behind climate change, saving the planet and all is just so they don't have to fix anything and can keep all the money instead of helping people.

Just because you've had this thought under the shower doesn't make it a shower thought.

A stroke is a restriction of oxygen to the brain, or what people do to cats.

I think it struck you.

You're right, thanx

nah, they don't need a reason to keep all the money and not help people

[–] visnudeva@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

You're right, maybe not anymore

what are you in about?

[–] jayemar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't understand your logic. Why would climate change mean that nothing needs to be fixed?

[–] visnudeva@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they fixing anything ?

[–] jayemar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I mean as one small example we have a lot more renewable energy now than we did a few years ago. So I would say yes.

You mean like once the problem is fixed they won’t need to fix it anymore? Sure.

The problem with stupid people is that they don't know they're stupid, which you demonstrate admirably.

Thank you your kindness, admirable person
