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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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
