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.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Oh those terms making it into the public consciousness is such a fucking plague. You know how they say magic is just science you can't understand and that say wizards have secret knowledge? Maybe they're not hoarding the knowledge, maybe they just hate watching people beat each other half to death with the spine of their favorite spellbook. And I say this as someone who didn't change my oil for a few years until it lit on fire. I still don't change my oil, but I do remember to bring it back to the car wizard occasionally. He does it for like $30 because "bitch how the fuck do you still not know how???"
I will never agree with you. Knowledge should be wide spread and accessible.
Now, there are people who may need to be taught or spoon fed but that is a failing of our education system. I will be the first to say we need better education across the board.
Deep down I know you're not wrong but I poke little crescents in my palms every time I see an abusive person describe their victim as a narcissist. Especially when they're twice as old.
We just need to bring equal awareness to the term DARVO
