Im becoming unsettled. Maybe a few memes total on first two pages. How could things go so bad? Where are the yester beans gone?

I blocked all of the news and political communities on my main account.

I keep an alt to keep track of local and national news of where I live. Improved my mental health substantially.

Edit: I live in Europe

I wish I could, but personally not knowing would be a greater mental load then having to process this run away train of fascism.

What more are you really going to do? You already know you're going to vote Democrat in 2028.

[-] harcesz@szmer.info 1 points 4 months ago

You seem surprisingly certain you will be able to vote.

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Well, sure. Even Russia still has elections.

True. It's good to be in league with notable Democratic People's Republics!

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.
