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.

UK? Some nazi Baltic, Fin?
Where do suicidal warmongering idiots wanting WW3 come from?

That is not the point of the discussion

OK then.
Either way, nobody should go and fight.
Americans should learn to mind their business.
And meddling in other countries as they are used to has its limits.
Their time is over and will be put in their place.

Perfect but US has meddled too much for far too long to just give up on its commitments. It has to clean up its mess.

They should not start new wars, that is for sure.

They should not 'clean up'.
Everything they touch tuns to shit and there's even nothing they can do.
They've gotten all they can out of it, the advantages for them I mentioned earlier.
The catasthrophic secondary geopolitical consequences, such as a stronger Russia, BRICS and chism from most of the world with the west they will have to swallow.
Ukraine being lost is just a detail compared to that.
