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.

There's an episode of Behind the Bastards that does exactly that... basically it was slightly upper middle class that was afraid of their life changing....
Same goddamn thing will happen here unfortunately
Yup.
Too many people have Dancing With The Stars and Doritos and aren't willing to sacrifice that to stop a fascist takeover. Little do they know that by the time they lose those things, it'll be too late. And under the best case scenario that the fascist regime is overthrown after a few years and a ton of bloodshed, they'll then spend the rest of their lives living in a society being rebuilt and economically broken, assuming they're still alive.
Idiot humans that can't learn from history that's within living memory. Blow right past all the opportunities to avoid an awful future without shedding any blood. This November was probably the last opportunity for that.
Would gladly follow an organized movement of resistance instead of just protests, which doesn't involve getting drone striked 🤷
You would think the Ds would organize a movement but seems they only care about their own skins and have raised theirs hands and left it all to god, in the words of Hakeem Jefferies.
Only the likes of Bernie and AOC are voicing any sort of resistance. Any form of small resistance will only end in violent suppression with no coverage from MSM because they are in bed with the fascists.
