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.

Noone says immigration is evil. The whole discourse in US is all around illegal immigration specifically. Lot of people conflates these two things
...so you just haven't been paying any attention at all? We've already dropped the "illegal" part and are targeting legal immigrants and, in some cases, even actual citizens (if they're brown, of course).
That's a bold claim.
Ah yes. That must be why ICE is ambushing people as they attend their immigration court hearings that they are required to attend in order to be here lawfully.
Go back to sucking on paint chips and leave the discourse to people who arent completely brain damaged.
according to trump, all immigration is illegal.
Do all y'all just have a text to cut and paste from?
Uhh... I am pretty sure a big portion of people see immigration as something bad in the USA. There is a reason they are deporting so many "non-illegal" immigrants.
are you lying to me or to you
how much does the current federal administration care about the legal/ illegal dichotomy in their blatantly cruel & unnecessary actions against the most vulnerable of our neighbors & associates?
But then the moment someone tries it legally, they get assaulted by ice 5 seconds after being rejected.
Doesn't solve the problem that most people immigrate, illegally or otherwise, due to some desperation. Humans will always move to where they believe their life will be better. Has been like that for the past 10,000 years.
You do know they're rounding up and incarcerating/deporting legal immigrants and talking about denaturalizing citizens, right? They left that argument behind about only going after "illegals" after the inauguration. Now we've got Stephen Miller basically recreating internment camps and Laura Loomer talking about feeding 65 million Hispanics to alligators.
In this thread alone there are two people calling all immigration bad.
