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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

WW2 was already bound to happen after the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain. Hitler also didn't found the NSDAP or invent antisemitism. We of course don't know what would have happened without him, but the near future after WW1 wouldn't have been bright either.
Not necessarily, Germany could have become socialist.
WW2 was bound to happen anyway. It wasn't about a party, it was about everyone in Germany and Austria being extremely unhappy with the dictated treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain. It only was a matter of time.
PS: Attacking France didn't make much sense militarily (better to focus on other countries), but beating the French (who played a major role in the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain) was something that greatly motivated everyone to keep going.
