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

I don't think conservatism is about being rational it's about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.

Its not woke. If its been around for awhile, its not woke. Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.
"Trigger" is a woke word when you say "Im so triggered by that". However in this context "Johnny, do not pull down that lever, it will trigger the breaker box" is not woke.
Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.
So works (or phrases) like:
- Civil rights Act of 1964
- Equal Pay Act of 1963
- Brown v. Bd. of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)
- Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)
- Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015)
Chill out dude. Im not going to argue with you Y'all on the internets.
