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

Where's the line drawn tho? So many things can be classified as politics

News about some dude called DeSantis, whatever some obscure (to me) american politicians decide or say. I keep seeing them. I'm from eastern Europe and I'm not interested in them.

My block and filter lists are long, yet not effective enough.

Oh wow, I always read that name and I have absolutely no idea who he is. I'm from the EU

[–] Ryumast3r@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He is the governor of the state of Florida and a potential US presidential candidate.

Useful filters to get rid of him are: DeSantis, Rhonda sandtits, "pudding fingers"

(Don't ask)

Maybe filter by keyword. "Football","Baseball","Elon". Would need to filter by post title, text, community name and description.
