Showerthoughts

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.

People are looking for a left wing Rogan. But I think we have that with guys like Bur

Bill Burr is not left. He's a true centrist. The problem with America is that the right is so far right anyone left of them is considered left.

Bur is just as likely to call out stupid behavior on the left, he's not partisan. It just so happens the right is doing the worst shit right now, but he's been vicious in attacking leftists in the past. As he should be.

Which only makes him better.

The Gatekeepers on any sort of left moderation would have canceled the left wing Joe Rogan long before he can make a point.

Bad faith, and or lazy, mean, etc rolled into online communities where anyone disagreeing with the consensus is labeled a bigot in bad faith and misunderstood on purpose...

Our progressive champions, lazily misunderstanding what the community of bad faith pricks suggests. Great plan to take back america under that fine structure. It has worked so well until now! /s
