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

Nah, the main internet hive minds still exist.
I’m frequently downvoted for saying anything positive about my Tesla.
playing victim is something a tesla driver would do tbh.
I think your comment is a perfect example of the issue. In just a small sentence you
stereotyped OP and put him in a group “all Tesla owners plays victim”,
used ad hominem attack on the person claiming that they were a Tesla driver victim and use that as a character rebuttal instead of arguing against their hive mind statement,
general dismissal by accusing them of playing a victim so you could ignore their experience and contribution.
Why?
New account, that’s the first comment, so I’m writing off as a troll.
Yeah, that was the joke. I also upvoted the comment.
