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.

The "makes sense" in the op means that from the perspective of the doer, it makes sense. OP is not saying that it's "objectively beneficial to all humans".

It's a description of how people make choices.

Maybe that's how they meant it...

Maybe that's how you interpreted it...

Lots of people also think vaccines cause autism, and when they say it, they mean it. It doesn't mean they're right, it just means they're willing to put effort in defending their erroneous position.

Someone replying over and over till the other person gives up, doesn't mean they're right. Often it just means the other person gave up explaining and likely blocked them.

Makes sense for me to interpret what OP said in that way because I find logic and reading comprehension worthwhile for life.

This guy always blocks everyone that shows him he's wrong about something.
