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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah, the western single line political spectrum is the most Fischer price useless shit ever designed. Left and right isn't the problem. It's the useless distorted political spectrum were taught to use. And our purposefully deficient political education. It has us treating a center right loosely pro social democracy party as if they're extreme lefties and right wing authoritarians as if authoritarianism is just what happens when you go further right. It isn't. But that's how they justify their continued foray into anti-democratic authoritarianism.
