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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Normally I would just mock you by pointing out that liberals stay in the tweets while leftists get out on the streets, but you're obviously suffering from mental illness and I don't think it's very nice to make fun of people who are clearly having a mental breakdown, judging by your totally normal reaction.
As for BRICS, IDK why you even brought that up, but two of the biggest members are having active border clashes with each other, a third has depleted their conventional army due to their strategic genius in Ukraine, and two others want to fuck off and have nothing to do with any of the rest. But sure, instead of accepting that Trump is a symptom of the inherently flawed system WE built here in the United States, let's just blame the most dysfunctional Wish.com EU knock-off trade partnership in the world cause that's easier and we get to pretend our own shit doesn't stink.
Also, hey @antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com, turns out it's uh checks notes BRICS that's censoring Wikipedia to convince you not to drink your own pee.
Yup, bunch of totally normal people in these comments.
I think you misunderstood. The terminally ill cancer patient is getting urine salts from cancer free individuals. Nowhere on Wikipedia did anybody claim a benefit from the drinking of one’s own urine. Leave that to the alchemists.
Why did I bring up BRICS? Lol, exactly. It all hinges on BRICS making a new currency and to do that, they must topple Western currency, especially USD. To topple USD, you must harm the stock market/commodities (done with tariffs), you must hurt the bond market (currently working on it), and you must collapse real estate (working on it last). They have 2/3 approaching completion, with China dumping bonds (because they planned it). They also need to siphon our gold away from us (which is why Elon and Trump want access to Fort Knox and national parks/forests) so we can't gave any wealth when gold-backed BRICS currency drops. BRICS is literally called "gold bricks" in China.
Who?
And guess what, China is sending and has sent North Korean soldiers and weapons to them to help them. India has acted as an economic hinge for Russian oil and sanctions.
Who?
They all very much want the US to not have control of their markets or money and have been fighting a very sophisticated war. All of your ad hominems dont change the very real and specific actions these governments have done to:
Oh and btw your ableism is a Nazi thing, maybe stop with that. I'll be sure to forget about you, disgusting coward, but in a few months you'll sure be remembering me. Good luck.
Yeah, there's no point in engaging with anything you just wrote, because you're very clearly dedicated to whatever this wonderful and deep narrative is that you've crafted. But I will point out one thing you said that's so very obviously wrong.
I didn't make any ad hominems. You see, almost every person who has ever cried that in an argument has had no idea what an ad hominem actually is. If I say "you're wrong because you're an Argonian, and you can't be trusted", that would be typical Imperial racism and also an ad hominem. But if I say "you're wrong, because your arguments suck. and also, argonians have stinky fish breath", that would be classical Imperial racism, but would not be an ad hominem. An ad hominem is an attempt to refute an argument by using a personal attack. It is not, as is commonly believed by internet keyboard warriors the world around, merely a personal attack.
Oh, and if you're going to call someone a nazi, at least make it someone the average person would believe is a nazi. If I was anything of the sort, I personally know three admins of my instance who would not hesitate to ban me in an instant, and one or two of them could probably dox me if they wanted to.
Here's an ad hominem and ableism. Your refusal to debate the argument here is a fallacy and bad faith.
2nd instance of ad hom and ableism in this comment alone.
Thanks for reminding me you failed to answer any questions and lost this debate completely.
Strawman, that was never said. I also have a longform comment to that user already explaining why the science of the pee drinking stuff is bogus, so somehow you did a double strawman.
3rd instance of ad hom and ableism
Now for this comment.
That's literally just having integrity and debating a position. You can't argue because you don't know how to argue this topic in good faith and apparently too childish to admit it.
This is an ad hom, it is being used in an argument to strengthen your side, and further, you are basing the entirety of your refusal to discuss in good faith on ad homs in the previous comment.
This is also a fallacy and bad faith argument, it would be dismissed. Circular reasoning.
That's what you did. Literally. Don't gaslight. I quoted it so you can see. You then changed the exucse to not argue in good faith in this most recent comment to lack the ableism, which is why it looks hilarious, like you're upset I'm able to argue and think.
You are one or you support them which makes you one.
Really bad application of appeal to authority - fallacy. Lemmy mods dont determine who is a Nazi lol
