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

You've made my point well.

Absolutely I've already learnt it, and I don't intend to stuff around translating. At first it's one thing, maybe not cumbersome but then many things become a hassle.

Master and slave are not in and of themselves offensive words. You just assign offence to them, based on certain specific context, again proving my point.

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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
