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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

That’s misinformation

It is not. I've read the text myself. You're gaslighting.

Most kids identifying as trans nowadays are not actually. There’s a strange Internet derived obsession with being trans, and it’s important to protect kids from permanent damage over a temporary phase.

Bullshit. Cite your sources.

So, yes. Please come up with a real example

Sure, as soon as you cite your sources and stop gaslighting.

I've read the text myself.

Then quote it

Sure thing:

slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit

Now cite your source.

That's a factual statement

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No it isn't. There is no benefit to a skill if you're a slave. None.

Still waiting for that source...
