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

Or a "hide all political posts" button. As an American, I already hate the next few months as the next generation of liars run for President.

As a European, US politics is a good comedy

You're sick of it? At least it's relevant to you.

What I'm sick of finding out is what various American ex news outlet anchors are doing. Who cares? Why are news anchors celebrities in the United States, it's weird.

Yeah I'll ask for the "Hide US" button

This makes me sad because politics are very important, but the media has turned it into such garbage that people have become indifferent.
