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 and the TOS
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.

If you are a leftist and didn't vote. It is abso-fucking-lutely your fault.
The DNC unilaterally presented Harris who received 20% less votes than Biden in 2020. Non-voters have sent a clear message that it is the DNCs fault.
So you don't vote to make a point? And that point is that you're screwed for at least the next 4 years? Good call
Maybe being roughly screwed for 4 years is better than being gently screwed for 12+ years by a party that argues in court that it doesn't have to follow any voting rules because it is a private corporation.
They didnt blame the left. They blamed people who didnt vote. Be they left, right or middle. If you didnt vote you are the problem. If you didnt vote Harris you are personally reaponsible for the coming fascism in america. You are responsible for project 2025 becoming reality.
Fascism was already in America the moment Biden gave Israel funding for the genocide and the Democrats threw all sorts of social issues under the bus. "Not fascism" in the current state of the country was not a choice, the only difference was how fast fascism would accelerate. The Democrats chose to make their platform boring in favor of donors and lose, and the fact that so many people support Trump shows that this country has much bigger problems than just that Trump was elected. This is a problem that needs much more than just voting to fix.
You dont know what fascism is if you think it is Biden supporting Israel. Lmao but you will find out soon enough what it really is.
But thanks for proving my point that idiots dont mind fascism. You dont even know what it is!
Genocides? Concentration camps? Racial discrimination and dehumanization? Israel has all of these things and Biden is propping it up. If that isn't fascism then what is?
Biden is not a far right totalitarian with an ultranationalist ideology. We cam argue that Netanyahu is, sure. Biden isn't.
To not vote Harris because she would also support Israel probably is idiotic seeing how much Trump supports Israel since Trump is very close to the same ideology that Netanyahu has.
We can blame both. People like you who enable fascism by not voting for democracy and the fascist, idiot. If you didnt vote for Harris you deserve everything Trump is going to do to you. And I say this as someone who doesnt like Harris and thinks it was stupid to replace Biden this late in the race.
A gorilla just broke out and is ripping people's dicks off, but people somehow blame the people who say that we shouldn't cage gorillas in the first place.
Imma be honest, this analogy confused me a bit. Could you dumb that down a notch?
