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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I like how this is somehow not political but yet it apparently is just enough to get people to crawl out of the wood work with a emotional response.
People are getting fired up over something that is a random thought. Its up there with right leaning people failing a 5th grade math exam because the researchers made the answers contradict the core conservative beliefs. Political beliefs are not rational and but many people are unaware of there own irrational logic.
I found https://yourmorals.org/ quite usefull in that regard.
