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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

I think everything West is leftish at the moment.

Just no my dude, that is not the case at all. In most western nations the right has been getting stronger and more powerful for years now, just think of Trump getting elected as president of the USA or of the right wing governments that have been ruling in Italy for many years now. In Germany the right wing AfD party has the best polls since they were founded. The west is clearly drifting more and more to the right and has been for many years now. Russia has been supporting and amplifying that trend by financing right wing groups and by spreading propaganda and conspiracy theories. How anyone could get the idea the west would be leftist when considering what has been going on in the world during the last years completely evades me.
