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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Well sure, unless you want to pretend you're achieving anything other than making yourself feel smarter by throwing around gotchas and completely failing to engage in any meaningful discussion. If you want to call it something else that's ok but it seems based on your replies all you're interested in doing is preaching to yourself to reinforce your own ideas.
Yes, I am trying to reinforce the idea that you must not go silently into fascism and your voice is the only thing that separates you from a maga.
And good luck to you, mate. Pushing back against maga is a worthwhile goal I just don't think pissing off everyone at your workplace or people who engage with you is the best way to go.
I just have to laugh because none of you know me and your idea of me is not me, it's someone else. I've met them too, and I know why feel this way, I'm just not afraid of them because their politics has already taken the country.
