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

MODERATORS
Which is just circular logic when you yourself define what (social) progress is.
You can't really anchor your entire good/evil definition on something vague that can be arbitarilly defined and redefined (often to serve hidden objectives of the ones doing the definition) such as "progress".
condemning backwards policies, beliefs and actions is fine and good
condemning people for comforting themselves with something that harms no one is not, nor is it the first step of progress
its actually just being a zealous asshole
