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.

MASKING IS A BASIC HYGIENE PRACTICE! washing your hands while hotboxing stranger's lung cum in public won't do shit.

endemic according to who? eugenicists?

vaccines don't prevent long covid or infection. there is still no sterilizing vaccine on the market. going in public unmasked while vaccinated doesn't absolve you from the disabling or deadly consequences of you infecting vulnerable people

Virologists actually.

I hate wearing facemasks and I did so during the actual pandemic but they're simply not needed now.

you only think masks aren't needed anymore because your privilege prevents you from experiencing the full consequences of your violence.

the long covid community has been clear that you shouldn't go outside unmasked for years now. if you decide to continue ignoring us, that's on you. and no, linking science that doesn't consult disabled people doesn't absolve you from your dangerous views

?????? If literally touching grass is violence in your book then I don't know what to tell you.
