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.

Well, unless you're some kind of Democrat. In which case, get your bougie, genoside lovin' ass outta here. Only the real leftists will be allowed under the banner.

How do you define a "real leftist"?

Good question!

What are you talking about?

I see what you did there.

Yeah, the way we can show all minorities that we're in this together, that we'll stand by each other even when it's unpopular and inconvenient, to stop the state from splitting off groups and trampling them underfoot... is to split off Palestinians and support candidates who want to trample them underfoot because standing up for them is too inconvenient.

I'm uhh a Democrat in name only. My father was a Democrat and my voter registration says Democrat, but I don't believe in their neoliberal values

I find it to be a more centrist position considering the amount of purity testing required to pass on either side of the political spectrum in the modern age.
