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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Honestly. Humans are so bad at seeing multi-year trends... myself included. Many essential things have been consistently going to shit over the past decade for sure. Climate change in the same vein, "It's not that different" "there were always record weather events once in a while" but if you look at a graph of objective scientific data, it's an exponential line of weather extreme after weather extreme with steadily decreasing intervals between events. But the neighbours insist that "We've had summers like this in the 70's, you youngsters haven't seen anything. Stop causing a panic!"
