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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not inherently, but I've been in communities where everyone is weirdly positive in the name of being "non-toxic" and it resulted in people generally not voicing dissenting opinions, which is pretty similar to an echo chamber.
I no longer frequent those places because it all felt a bit artificially happy like a kids TV show.
This is kind of what I was pointing at. Maybe I didn't word my post well. English is not my mother tongue.
