Let's say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we'd all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I'm not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn't have any baring whatsoever on what country you're from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you're incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can't believe that needs to be explained for half the people here...

Turns out there are numerous communities with no political content. One could choose to only read those, on any given day.

No politics means to not speak to anyone. Anything can be construed as political speech.

Just block em. By blocking a half dozen politics subs and a dozen or so chronically online leftist agendaposters I've really cleared the air. Makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. :)

Did you have a day in mind? Does it cater to only one country? Is there something to learn from that ?

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk -1 points 1 month ago

Upvoted because this comments section is nuts

I like how everyone here is missing the point entirely. I don't want yet another heated comments section. Why is it to complicated to not have everyone dying on some random hill.

[-] Ascend910@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 month ago

I feel like the entire comment section just proves the op's point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee -3 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing this site would be a dud on that day, since most of yall have about as much charisma as an old shoe.

If you don’t like politics, just move to a country where you don’t get to vote. Problem solved.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
