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

Isn’t Drew a conservative?
That's disappointing if true. I loved Fark back in the day!
Looks like I'm behind the times. I checked his wikipedia page because I remembered he ran for Governor of Kentucky, but the page didn't list his political affiliation in that race. But in 2019, he ran for State Auditor as a Democrat. So perhaps he isn't!
Forget lemmy. Let's all go hang out at Fark again.
Eh....
¯\_ (ツ) _/¯In the grand scheme of things, both major US partys still primary subscribe to some version of liberalism at their core, although that's changing on both fronts.
People need to realize that in a world wide perspective, liberals are considered right wing for being capitalist. They're only left wing in the fucked up US political landscape that is so far skewed right.
