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.

Yup, it's no different than people retiring from the positions that could stop the current administration. You're just making it easier for them.

Totally feeling this as i consider retiring early from public education because it sucks so bad right now!

Cant vote your way out of a fundamentally oppressive system.

Not really going to matter much when the vote is rigged anyways like it probably will be during the upcoming elections.

For example, in my state, Independent voters are banned from the primaries, you have to be registered GOP or Democrat to vote in the primaries in Oklahoma now.

I'd say that might come under constitutional scrutiny, but the Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead letters now.

-sigh- If I can't feasibly leave this fascist-ass country, can I at least move to one of the Blue states which aren't complete shitholes yet?
