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

- 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
One of the most impressive political maneuverings of the modern day has been the success of the pro-gun and pro-fossil fuel lobbies at driving a wedge into the old partnership between environmental activists and hunters/fisherman, that was responsible for much of our past success in passing environmental regulation. Neither group on its own has anything resembling a majority, but together it becomes a very powerful bloc. And the interests of the two groups are very clearly aligned on preservation of wildlands and environmental health.
