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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

For all their "christianity", republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical.

Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

I'm sorry, but what exactly made you think I'm supporting the Republican party here, just because I hinted at the fact that the Democrats are no angels either? What did it matter that Democrats were in control for the last four years when grocery prices still went up by 100%?

Where did I advocate for tax cuts for the wealthy, or cutting welfare to the needy? All I said was that as far as I understand it, Jesus didn't advocate for voting to have the government take care of your neighbor, but to do it yourself instead. Which, as far as I understand it, just means that you can't vote your way out of your problems, you have to take personal responsibility as much as you can.

If there is someone in your life that needs more help than the government is providing, and you have the means to help them, you should do so, instead of complaining that the government isn't doing enough. It doesn't matter who's in charge of the White House, what matters is what you do with what you're given.
