Showerthoughts

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.

How do you know you have TDS? A Trump voter will diagnose you.

Lol seriously. I see so many people say “TDS” and I’m like “thats not a real thing its just something some pundits made up.”

Should I feel blessed in my ignorance that I've never heard of TDS?

[–] Reyali@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yes.

Tap if you want to end your blissful ignorance.Stands for Trump Derangement Syndrome. I first learned of it when Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered by their son, and Trump blamed their deaths on TDS

Just a part of Trump’s insane post referencing it below:

Rob Reiner … has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump …

Source, if you want to read the whole crazy post.

Oh it’s a real thing, it’s just that conservatives are the ones who don’t believe they have it. You know, just like they were trained to do with COVID, and vaccinations.

The term "TDS" is absolutely an example of every accusation being a confession. Trump supporters are clearly deranged and see something very different from reality when they look at Trump.
