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

slavery is fine as long as it's legally a mandated form of punishment, gotta love the so called "correctional institutions"
When you get out of jail, you're blacklisted from employment and housing because of the fact that you were in jail in the first place. How the hell is this rehabilitation?
yes that's the joke behind the "correctional institution" part of it.
Nothing's getting better, we're just rebranding the terror to sound less horrible
