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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

That's what intersectionality is about, and why fascists focus on driving wedges between groups

Getting every group to do one thing together is harder than you think.

I don't really see the parallel you are making.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

Well, unless you're some kind of Democrat. In which case, get your bougie, genoside lovin' ass outta here. Only the real leftists will be allowed under the banner.

How do you define a "real leftist"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Bernie Sanders always talks about a multi racial coalition

It is at least a step in the right direction.

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?
