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.

- 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

See? Now I get called a fascist just because I'm scared of how commonly that buzzword is used
You really worked for it though. You can also just behave like a regular human.
Whatever, you just made huge assumptions about me
Like what? That you’re a regular human? I apologize!!
No, that I like fascism
I did no such thing. But it really doesn’t matter if you like it. The way you engage with the concept is icky enough.
Why is "I don't like authoritarianism" so hard to understand? With a number of exceptions I can count with one hand, I'd support social democracy if it has a decent welfare and economic freedoms. However, it's a priority to stomp down on monopolies, as they're nothing more than an obstacle to fair economic competition
You are not reacting to anything your interlocutors type.
If you are a bot: use a larger language model and/or context size.
If you are a human: kindly go stink up some other place.
You hate different opinions? What a nice way of creating echo chambers
Please point out where I called you a fascist, or stop pretending you’re being persecuted.
