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.

So far, there has been no protection given

just tons and tons of ordinance, from the javelins that stopped the taking of Kiev to the artillery, apcs, aircraft and munitions for everything from autocannons to patriots, yeah, no protection whatsoever.

problem with talking about USA in this conflict are the spineless fucks who keep undermining our support to appease PUTIN. Ukraine deserves more, but we're stymied by the kompromised members of our government.

That's my whole point, only money has been given. US troops should have been deployed to Ukraine.

Why did the US promise protection then? Bunch of fucking cowards, I guess.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

They have always been cowards and let others do the fighting for them. They say a lot if it benefits them.
Sell them arms.
Get NATO vasals to also buy more arms.
Make Russia spend money on the war.

Anyone who isn't stupid knows they could never guarantee protection.
Except mercs and 'advisors' they will not and can not set one foot on ukrainian soil.
Russia says it is a red line and despite being wildly irresponsible the US won't cause WW3 just yet.
