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
Sadly we've got the smug 'new' atheists of the old sort on here too.
They're not committed to progress, only condemning others as backwards while (generally) supporting punitive policies domestically and abroad.
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
