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.

Hail Satan!

The increasing popularity of psychedelics has taken out the effort in getting to them. That is the problem.

When I was into psychedelics, you had to confront the possibility to doing years in prison, or even getting shot. Whether from a dealer or the cops.

Today things are different.

Pretty people are "doing shrooms" and bitching about the hard inner work that comes with it all. Buncha posers.

This reads like a Boomer complaining how kids have it better than they did, and are upset people don't continue to suffer through the same bullshit they used to.

Entheogens have been used for millennia. I'm quite sure some people doing them before you saw their reasons "purer" than yours. Or the ones that went through a tribal initiation instead of buying from their trigger-happy dealer.

…how is any of that a “problem?”

Are we gatekeeping drug experiences now?
