Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Ok?
Disregard these gatekeepers.
This is an online discussion forum for public discussions.
I see these comments around here, like wtf people getting policing what and where people are commenting.
Childish behavior.
Someone is trying to gatekeep, that's for sure.
You...clearly misunderstood my initial post, and that's really funny.
My point isn't that you shouldn't care if they win or not. That's absolutely ridiculous. My point is that you shouldn't choose to vote for someone purely because they have a chance of winning, over someone that aligns better with your political views.
Sometimes I can't believe this app is free...
Which country do you seriously think this post is about?
Other people are entitled to have opinions about US system and participate in discussion as they see fit.
Not if they're telling people what to do, or giving out misinformation they don't.
It's honestly a little embarrassing to see Lemmy struggle so much with this kind of thing. Even Reddit was never this bad...
You're an embarrassment
People here actually care about the future of their country.
