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
Eh. One person could be influencing in the recent past…
Walter Cronkite, declared the Vietnam war unwinnable and “people “ say that changed Americans view on it.
Today, I agree there are too many voices and too many people have their “own realities” for one person to affect the national discourse.
I don’t think is aliens landed the majority of Americans would believe their own eyes if their news said it was fake.
