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

MODERATORS

The NSA reviewed his books and asked him to present his sources because he concluded a bunch of classified information using unclassified sources.
Feel free to tl;dw me for the link, it's only fair, but it's a very interesting listen

Yeah that speech is referenced by Secker. I'll save it for later, but I'd still appreciate the TL;DW.
