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
Forming an uneducated opinion on something based on an anecdotal experience, and then refusing to back down from it no matter how much time has passed or new informationtion is provided, is a boomer way of life.
Fundamentalist mindset. It will make more sense when you realise that.
You can tell a fundamentalist mindset when they start with the conclusions and the backwards logic doesn’t make sense
The idea that the argument "it's adam and eve, not adam and steve" is as logically valid as "he who smelt it, dealt it" really fucked with boomer's minds. It makes me wonder how serious they were about the smelt it/dealt it rule.
