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.

OP, can you just keep using this account at least?

I feel like I seen these same posts a couple days in a row, and always from brand new accounts

I keep blocking them, but you seem to be deleting and making new ones.

If you keep the same account, even tho you get downvoted, you'll eventually get less down votes as people block you

If you keep creating new accounts, the people who clearly don't want to see it are gonna keep down voting, but also blocking.

Everyone wins

That's assuming that OP isn't just trolling.

Doing it once may be overlooked, but the second time, you're in for a real hard time!

Plus, remember that there are always 'factors' that are involved in being able to get away with killing someone using a vehicle. Make sure you're white, they're a minority, you're rich, they're poor, you are in a friendly relationship with the police officer who will show up on scene, or the prosecutor, get a good lawyer (part of you're rich, I suppose), have something about the other person that is really negative (can be part of they're a minority if you're in a really red area).... any I'm forgetting?

Makes sense.

That's called murder. You have to be a high-ranking official to get away with it.
