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

Uncle Tom had his issues, but he was the opposite of hateful.
Swap Uncle Tom for Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks and it would be more accurate.
No relation.
It is an archetype and there is a scale...
i see, thank you for sharing :)
Uncle Ruckus is a character from the Boondocks. He is an outspoken white supremacist and even claims to be an Irish-American who suffers from "reverse vitiligo”.
Dave Chapel has a similar character, looks like guy is his inspiration along with uncle tom
