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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. Don't give him the satisfaction of having any legacy on this platform.
Absolutely this. Can you imagine him looking at the main page of most instances over the last few weeks? If he has the typical tech ceo arrogant narcissism he was probably so pleased even though the discussion was universally negative
Same deal with Elon. He doesn’t really give a shit when people roast and mock him. It’s just about achieving notoriety
But it’s in the same vein of the old “don’t feed the trolls” adage. Some people really just can’t avoid giving attention to the toxic environments and people even when they know it’s a bad idea. But it’s very similar to a child who is throwing shit at you instead of asking you for attention appropriately. You have to teach the child the appropriate way to ask and ignore the problem behavior. But our mass media is set up to constantly provide these dicks the attention they crave and platform awful disgusting behavior so culture in decline I guess
this.
