Showerthoughts

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.

MODERATORS
You've just described a majority of the Democratic party as well. Don't forget a majority here was certain that Joe Biden was more dynamic than he'd ever been, and later convinced that supporting Israel's genocide and neocons would win Kamala the election.
No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That's it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.
Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.
In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it's a good thing that she lost hard.
You can argue that. It is a stupid argument, but you can argue it.
Accelerationist arguments always show that the speaker isn't nearly as smart as they think they are.
Because accelerationist arguments are always wrong.
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.
but in the long term there's always a swing back the other way
Right. Germany got it's act together...
...AFTER THE DEATH CAMPS.
Yes?
So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says "vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!" and strictly go for "fuck that shit".
I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it's not now.
There is at least one camp right now where genocide is happening and the Democrats are supporting and paying for it.
But not the Republicans? Their hands are somehow clean?
I never said that, although Democrats are the ones still in power. My point was that both sides are blind.
Congress is mostly Republicans.
Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?
No, do you think it somehow doesn't matter? It was pretty mixed before Kamala decided to become a Republican.
So were you gaslighting yourselves about Biden's mental health or the rest of us?
Biden > Trump, bad mental health or not.
Exactly.
Don't trigger Lemmy normies too hard lol
Their team obviously good, this ain't a two party regime driven by the owner class.
Just trust me bro if you vote for my guy for president and my party for congress, we can get some things like ACA 🤡
Just keep voting for two party system, things will change, trust me bro.
some mother fucker comes here with a name like sun tzu and then starts with comment about "Lemmy normies"
fuck off
BLOCKED.
a job well done :)
