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

If I could forget what sports even are and be able to live life without ever hearing it mentioned, seeing it mentioned, or seeing any commercials for upcoming games or tournaments, I would be so happy.

I fucking hate sports of all kinds. In all contexts. It's fine if others like it, but don't say shit about them around me, I don't wanna hear it.

Even as a kid when I went through a phase where I liked them for a couple years, people would start talking about the specific players, and I could just be bothered to care. It just felt like reading the credits of the names of extras in a boring movie. Even if I liked a team, the players felt like they were always switching teams and moving around, so liking the players just seemed like a waste of time and getting attached to drama.

I just don't get the appeal at all. Like some sports should just not be watched by anyone. Some I can see the entertainment value in watching if you don't really care who wins. But other sports are just plain boring unless you actively play. Like golf. There is no good reason for anyone to watch it (ESPECIALLY on TV) at all. It's too slow to be interesting, and you can't really see it happen since watching a tiny ball is just impossible.

Anyway, make all sports content in all mediums opt-in.
