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-----

What happened to merit?
I have no idea anymore. Politics is a cult of personality now. And one’s gender and sexual identity has apparently become part of that.
It’d be really cool if it were about the politics again.
That's what I'm saying. Can we stop focusing on people's appearance and instead pay more attention to what they have to say and their ideas?
Man, and I thought the Olympic boxer drama was disappointing. People really just want to tear each other down for no good reason.
