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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Present an argument to support your accusation.
Here's an argument if ur gonna make distinctions bases upon race ur racist. Thus race based dei is racist. If race based dei isn't racist then negative comments based upon race also aren't racist. To have one without the other is simply doublethink.
No. That's stupid. Very, very stupid. How are races defined without specifying differences between races?
What makes something racist is unfounded critique of races, not simply references to races.
DISCLAIMER: I do not mean this in the context of OP's digging at Indians. Without some heavy qualifications that go far beyond anecdote, it's kinda' a racist statement...
So if the critique is founded then its not racist? U can find a lot of statistics that are true and would get you called an extreme racist if u said em.
For example is it racist to say that Arabs are more inbred? https://europepmc.org/article/MED/19811666
By your logic its also not racist to say that black people in america commit a disproportionate amount of crime https://crimeresearch.org/2023/11/violent-crime-rates-by-race/
These claims are founded in science and fact so therefore not racist right?
You seem to be completely forgetting that my point was that they should not be used to disparage an entire race, like pit bulls. You are on my side but you don't even realize it...
