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:
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.
Looking back at the history of England. We have had wave after wave of immigrants/invaders. Each wave brought a period of tension. That period was followed by a period of innovation.
The new people, with new views means old ideas are re-evaluated. New skill, flavours and modes of thought became part of our culture.
Even our language improved. Part of English's power is the level of nuance with word choice. A loft of that comes from melding multiple root languages in.
The Normans did fuck things up, though.
As did the vikings. The long term results were generally an improvement however.
dont let the fascist whoresons read this, they will frame you mentally deranged and a danger to their homogeneous society
Fuck their homogenous society, its total lack of art, its dog shit food, and its boring everything. Plus its queerphobia and intellectual stasis. Stillness is death. They have guns; they can get that for themselves any time they like.
Plus I'm kind of autistic. People already look too much the same. If they stopped being different colors and sizes with different types of hair i would not be able to go outside.
Some for me. So many cultures, languages and cuisines mixing. But in my case even im an immigrant but the plot twist is im european. Overheard someone talking about how bad immigrants are and they proceeded to say "but youre one of the good ones". Only context you need to hear is im white.
"Unser Jud' ist eh gut."
That's a sentence that was often used in Nazi Germany/Nazi Austria. It means "Our Jew is good anyway, [but the others are evil]". It basically means that you keep believing the propaganda, even if the people you know don't fit to the propaganda at all.
Nowadays this sentence is used to satirize the statement you posted.
Good to know. It is exactly like this. Ive seen people say things like this while they had 5 friends who were from 5 different countries basically next to them. Its really sad when even some of the immigrants believe this shit.
Many immigrants think they can get on the good side of the xenophobes by becoming the "good" immigrants while putting the "bad" immigrants down.
The problem with that tactic is that xenophobes and especially xenophobic laws don't distinguish between "good" or "bad".
If immigrants badmouth other immigrants, the only thing that xenophobes take from that is "even the immigrants think immigrants are bad".
You see a lot of that happening in the USA, where frequently family members of MAGA voters are taken by ICE, because they aren't going after the "bad" immigrants, but after immigrants, period. Even if their family voted for the people who are now taking them.
And that's the real take-away. When it comes to lawmaking, you can either be for immigrants or against them. There's no nuance. Because lawmakers don't put any in.
