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

Agree with everything you're talking about.
The world changes, your personal life changes, and people's views change with it.
When I first started on reddit, I was a virgin who had just started his first professional job making 20 bucks an hour after college. Today I'm married with kids, and I've advanced substantially in my career. Many of those things are things I thought would never happen or that I thought I'd never want to happen. Movements I supported won total victory and I got to see what that looked like, other movements I opposed grew and I realized they weren't totally wrong, lots happened.
Just in 18 years, that's an entire lifetime.
