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.

If humanity suddenly vanished and all that would be left of our existence is all the videos ever filmed. How much of that would be porn? What would other civilizations think of us? Fucking perverts, aren't we?

I'd argue, that porn is a luxury. You don't need porn to survive, nor for a fulfilling life.

So why feed an exploitive industry when you don't have to? Isn't that causing unnecessary harm?

That's not to criticize the idea of performing erotic scenes to share with other people for sexual pleasure and getting money for it.

I have never ever paid for porn 🤷

I wish I could say I don't watch porn, or only when I pay for it on some more ethical platform.

I find the path of causing as little harm as possible very difficult anyway to always do well, and I don't believe there is any human who does it perfectly.

But I still like to keep my eyes in the right direction and know what's true :)
