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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.
This is why I am much more of a cynic nowadays. So much fud and I can't go down a rabbit hole with every one to determine why its wrong. Oh man and my wife stays informed with youtube.
It's more important to have a reasonable stance, yourself, and in areas you can directly impact, than it is to establish truth in scenarios you have virtually no impact upon.
