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.

A billionaire is a billionaire. 🤷‍♂️

Name some things that make Gabe a bad guy.

He's not gonna give you a million dollars or a big wet kiss on the mouth dude, you can stop sticking up for the big nerd. He's a billionaire and chooses to continue being a billionaire - that is a BIG thing that makes him a bad person.

I'm not sticking up for anyone.. just commenting on the frequent shitty attitude people have around here.

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

A shitty attitude, or an honest recognition of a massively unequal wealth distribution seeing very few very selfish people at the top hoard gigantic sums of money seemingly with the goal to just get more money, while so many of us struggle to get by working one, two, three jobs?

Because I'll agree, there's a lot of very pouty people on here that will bang on and moan endlessly about absolute bullshit. The insanity that one person can accumulate a billion dollars though? That's not bullshit. That's something to moan about.

Sadly, he is. This is what the enemy looks like. It is simply not possible to ethically acquire even a tenth of the wealth that he hoards for himself. The damage he has caused in acquiring and retaining that wealth is far greater than his net worth.

The sooner he starts his redemption arc, the better.
