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.

Thank you everyone, this was just a Devil's advocate. The Kraken released a tentacle, it will now retract. With everything going on, it's good to drop a stone in the pond every now and then. Love you all! 🤍


I do however, believe that his ethics are flexible, as long as it contributes to his main goal: Going to Mars. 

Do not see him as the Satan, nor God. He's a werewolf, shapeshifter. He'll turn into whatever person he needs to be in order to reach his goal.

That's a fair take. I don't think he's as bad in his head as people make him out to be.

He's autistic and has to deal with a lot of influences around him without having the space to interpret them for what they are.

He's operating on auto-pilot more often than not. Yeah he's rich, yeah he's a piece of shit, but I'm not going to elevate him to the level of a 'supervillain' because I simply believe he doesn't understand why he's doing what he's doing.

This is probably very close to the truth. More likely than the alternatives, based on all we've seen. People focus on certain things more because of emotion, but Hanlon's Razor..
