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

That has to be it. The Nazi bar story has been making the rounds too.
Just a reminder for everyone, not you specifically: Respond once, twice if you absolutely must, to clarify and then you walk away. If you're explaining over and over, everyone is losing.
Yeah, you just get deep comment chains that don't add anything to the discussion. Just clicking, and clicking ... and it's just noise.
Good lord, could you imagine?
