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

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

Yeah but now you can just say that instead of actually talking about the subject. If it were any other time, you would say something like "there is no credible source that Aisha was 9 when they married" or "are you saying that christians didn't historically marry 14 year-olds?" Or whatever other rebuttal you can have. And someone who doesn't know anything about the subject who is reading this might be swayed to your position. If you just say "fuck off with this dogwhistle" people might not be convinced.
