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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
And sometimes it literally is USA propaganda. It's quite rare, but those articles should get fixed. Changing something like "The guerrilla fighters killed babies" to "The US State Department claimed the guerrilla fighters killed babies, but critics call the claim "wholly unfounded" [source]".
But yea, as I said, actually a lot more rare than you'd think.
