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

So when Michael Knowles said "Transgenderism must be eradicated" That was not "Trans people shouldn't exist"? Or when Italy decided to remove lesbian mothers from birth certificates, that is in fact not "LGBT people don't deserve the same things"?
Or Florida updating history books to illustrate how slaves benefited from their position because they now know the skill of blacksmithing?
dude, the latest batch straight up denies slaver was a thing
Don't forget Florida changing the curriculum to show the "benefits of slavery"
