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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Also, it's infinitely frustrating and heartbreaking for the more senior climate scientists that went from saying "look, if we act now and put our heads together to clean up our act, we can still stop this in its tracks and save the world" early in their career to decades later where basically all that's left for them to do is try to predict exactly how bad it will get, what regions will be decimated the most and how many billions of people will die from this, while begging everyone to at least mitigate it so humanity as a species might still have a chance, and everyone still don't give a shit.
The USDA has released a new Plant Hardiness Zone Map for 2023. These were things that use to stay static for decades at least. We can now expect them to be updated every few years at the least now.
