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.

When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. (lemmy.world)

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

Why do you think about US politics in the shower?

Some people get off to politics.

Wow yeah, I guess I never sat around thinking "How can I make myself more depressed"

It haunts us like the spectre of death.

Why don't you? This community probably confuses you greatly

what do you think about in the shower?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Not about politicians in my country, that is for sure. They're the last people I want to think about naked and soapy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Damn it now you got me thinking about naked and soapy politicians, now where's the mental eye bleach.

Enjoy the privilege! 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

that's why i think about politics more broadly, not politicians.

Maybe they just stare blankly at the floor, or read the ingredients on the shampoo bottle again for the 14 thousandth time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

true, that is an option. Staring at the floor is a solid way to spend a shower ngl

Same reason we think about mistakes we made in high school while we're trying to go to sleep?
