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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

MODERATORS
I view it as a kindness that any human deserves. Having differences in opinion doesn't change that for me.
Do you think Putin deserves kindness?
What about mass murderers?
I think everyone does. That doesn't mean I approve of their actions, or agree with their opinions.
I think that even horrible people deserve to be treated humanly, as in no torture, but not with kindness.
What does the word kindness mean to you?
I suppose it's trying to approach any interaction with good intentions for every party, and to treat people humanly. But not necessarily nice or helpful
