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, sad reality is a good percentage of 8 billion people are cheering. They dont understand it or are in so deep in whatever propaganda they believe in, have made they apathatic and or just defeatist.

It’s the 0.1 percent being supported by the 1% who are a lucky day away from joining them, and the 9% who live pretty good lives as rewards for helping the 1%.

Pyramid scheme all the way down

I am talking about bottom ones who are working their ass off neck deep in debt. Who are not benefitting anything but still cheering them making there own pride in religion or straight up licking ass of likes of musk on social media. Personally ive been very demotivated (not defeated) as i try to explain the situation and dangers of insta to my school buddies only to meet with my brain exploding logics and ignorance.
