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.

Does it even matter what the context of the open mic is much beyond a certain point or even the type of open mic? Are people going to complain about hearing a spicy email between singer-songwriter guitarists or between edgey standup sets?? No, it is guranteed quality content no matter what you are really just the messenger except you still get the experience of performing in front of people. Win-win for would-be artists and performers! Just keep it the right length, read the room and all.

These people control the world and yet they cannot see the basic evil in hurting children.

If they could see the harm they do to anyone, they wouldn't be the beligerantly rich pieces of shit they are. The sooner the world realizes the "winners" of capitalism are the worst trash of humanity, the sooner we can start to clean up this shit show.

I feel like never before in history has it been more evident that the super elite are not having fulfilling lives themselves.

For instance: recently, Elon was slandered by some writer saying he can't appreciate art + movies properly, and since then he's made a big show of commenting on all the "movies" pages on X-twitter.

So performative. Like Donald Trump's behaviour rubbed off on him.

As for the others - Bezos and Zuckerberg and more - well, they just seem to be having an awkward time whenever in the public eye. They struggle to find uses for their time and money and end up sending pop stars to the moon and such.

It's like you said - can you imagine how unfulfilled and disconnected from real life people like Jeffrey Epstein were, to decide their effort was best spent organising an industry of kidnapping, blackmail + sexual slavery? Either the man was a demon, or he was so profoundly impotent - emotionally and conventionally - that he only got his kicks from abusing minors.

It's definitely a warning sign to anyone still playing the capitalist game.

What makes a demon? If it's their actions, I'd say they are quite literally demons, regardless of how they feel.
