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.

Whatever you say. I'm not the one blindly hating an entire class of people without treating each one as an individual, much like a bigot. Your blind hatred is demonstrated by the fact you act like giving away a third of her net worth - even after accounting for her gains - is just a "tax dodge."

I get the anger and share it to an extent, but not to the point of blind rage that makes one no better than any other bigot.

Hate to break this to you, but billionaires are not a "class" in the same way merchants or workers are. The problem with being a billionaire is that by the mere fact of being one, you are already on the wrong side of history. If any of them had morals, they would immediately divest enough wealth to others to become not a billionaire. But they don't. Because they are still billionaires. Including the one in your example.

As the person above said, there are no good billionaires, full stop.

Lol assume the rage is blind. Straw man much?
