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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This post was reported for being a news article not a shower thought. Also it seems like several of the comments are concerned that it is political.
There isn't a rule against posting a link. The article does seem relevant and OP's thought isn't taken from the article, it seems unique, like something you might think of in the shower after reading the article.
There isn't a rule against political posts. Many posts have some component of politics to them.
Thank you all for being civil with each other. Thank you all for commenting and reporting when think something is pushing the limits on what should be considered a "shower thought", it's an abstract concept, so social pressure is helpful in shaping the community. I try to error on the side of being permissive.
As always, I am open to feedback.
Edit: spelling, ironically
