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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  • With the exception of any article that's even slightly political.

Even for political content it's damn good. Every time someone on Lemmy points to an explicit article of bias, it falls into one of 3 categories:

  • Slightly unfair bias, but still largely true
  • Article is correct, Lemmy cannot provide a reliable source proving otherwise
  • Article is incorrect, reliable source found, article amended

The third case happened once in an article about a UN Resolution on North Korea, and it was because the original article source was slightly misinterpreted. But yea, basically what I'm trying to say is if a "political article" is "wrong" but you can't prove it, it's not the political article that's wrong but you.

Edit: ITT - People upset with my analysis, but not willing to provide sources to the articles they disagree with
