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-----

Why did you lead with a question just there? Yes, for the emotion. It's like you can't help it.
Your premise is flawed. A question doesn't beg an emotion, it begs a response. The response could be completely devoid of emotion.
Sorry cybertron, begging is totally an evocation of emotion. That's its power. That's why you do it.
