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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Half of the US population LARP being obedient dogs and they take any criticism of such behaviour with disdain.

This propaganda must that good when adults who don't benefit from this arrangement larp with such fevor.

Disgusting

Uncle Tom had his issues, but he wasn’t hateful toward anyone.

Swap Uncle Tom for Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks and it would be more accurate.
