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.

Wait till you realize morality is shitty fucked up crutch that doesn't work at best and a tool to control people at... usual, not even the worst

Is this an anarchist perspective? Just trying to see what your broader view might be.

They can choose not to.

This is why I don't support pot legalization, being a pot dealer used to be that accessible option.

I'm sorry but this is fucking stupid. WHO is calling WHAT immoral? Someone babbling on recycling, who the fuck cares about recycling?

Poorest people are 100% capable of making choices that align with their personal values as anyone else. This is such a fucking Christian thread. What, do you think morals come from the Bible? what a joke

There ya go. Yes, 'threading a moral needle with bad choices' is all just pure imagery. Nothing real was said. There's no actual situation under discussion, just vapor.

Don't use being poor to justify your shitty choices bro, wtf? Trash take.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 1 points 4 days ago

Simple. Trashy. But simple.

According to Lemmy all poor people are good.

Tell that to Juan, the homeless I personally know that has not done anything bad, and have been always an angel. He had never hurt or steal anyone and he doesn't even have a roof over his head.

But according to Lemmy shitheads that kill, steal and rape have the same moral merit as Juan because they are not rich.
