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:

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

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.

And I thought they were supposed to be shying away from fossil fuels.

One holds human beings in distress, and the other a garbage vehicle. Your comment is disgusting and shows how you value life.

I agree. It’s a false equivalency.

It’s super similar to the idea behind the original tea party. They didn’t do insane shit like burn down buildings with people inside, they tossed tea into the water. If we could do something similar, I’m sure we would.

You know what, the first time, I totally read your comment completely different than how you meant it. So my previous reply would have been different.

Even so, my comment was not disgusting, it was just using logic.

Do you know what? No, you obviously don't, and it's sad.

I wish that you would see the fallacy of your argument, but a cult of personality has you captured.

Empathy and reading a room are not some of your strengths.

Good day.

Or maybe a cult of personality has you captured, preventing you from being able to see it from both sides point of view as I am doing.

You don't have to agree with the other side in order to see it from their perspective.
