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.

- 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

MODERATORS
And those that argue for corporate and government responsibility do the things you are referring to, with the addition that they are smart enough to recognise personal responsibility isn't enough and isn't possible at scale without systemic change.
It's not that you're wrong, it's that you're wasting your breath preaching to a choir that has additional comprehension.
Except that they clearly don't, or they wouldn't say such absurd things.
Except we do because I am one. Reusable bag using government responsibility pusher right here. So instead of being disingenuously belligerent, check your ego at the recycling center. Oh wait, they haven't built one.
Then maybe say what you mean instead of telling people who are responsible that they aren't.
I did say what I mean, your lack of comprehension and inability to ask clarifying questions is a you problem.
That's good. Blame other people for not asking questions when you say the opposite of what you mean. You're so dark and mysterious.
Everyone else gets it, why can't you? You're in charge of your own education.
They don't get it or you wouldn't be saying it.
You're like those "antiwork" morons that claim they want to work and then act like victims when people laugh in the face of their preposterous positions and don't understand why their intentions are being misinterpreted.
And those "defund the police" morons who are equally confused as to why no one understands them.
It's like you can't read, let alone comprehend context and nuance, and then you call everyone else an idiot because you're too slow to keep up. Keep up sunshine, what you're pushing for is what we already intuit as bare minimum.
I can read just fine, honey. You can't write the opposite of what you mean and then expect your readers to "context and nuance" their way into your brain to read your mind.
You're that person coming last in the race who shouts at the person in first place who's about to lap you, 'Keep up, honey!"
