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

By using it. People don"t post freely when Aunty Carol is gonna comment and snitch
It’s also fun watching your friends call out Uncle Bob and Grandma for being complete racists, and the conversation spiral completely out of control.
I said something like "you think Israel would care more about marginalised people"
My Jewish aunt commented. Then I said I seen some Israelis being disrespectful. Then my friends commented. Then it turned into a shower of shit and I decided not to say anything else.
Have seen here since lol. Seen my uncle and their kids but not her.
