healthy is more of a modifier that narrows down the categorization of what we're discussing, less often used as a highlight of an intrinsic property. also there's the fact that medications are often saddled with less than ideal side-effects and are resorted to only as a trade-off where the issues caused are less deleterious to a patient than the issues they address, so not even they are intrinsically healthy. The reason healthy food is a concept is because the majority of people have a tendency to enjoy food that is unhealthy.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
