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

A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it's only for US politics. But it's not called "usonlypolitics" it's called "politics". Somehow they don't see the problem with that.

Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.

But why would the world champions of egg handball see a problem with this?

Easy to be the world champion in egg handball if you're the only country that plays that version of egg handball.
