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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It isn't about having something to say and being heard, it's about having nothing to say and forcing people who don't want to listen to listen. They're just pissed off because the fediverse gives people the ability to exercise their right to freedom NOT to associate with them. Trolling isn't fun without a captive audience to torture.
