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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- 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.

JK Rowling wrote a whole book series about how bullying is a horrible and self-perpetuating cycle, and now spends most of her time bullying a marginalised group
No, Joanne!
I.e., I understand she greatly prefers (absolutely detests) being addressed that way. :D
No.
Other people’s right to exist is not just “an opinion outside of the mainstream”, and she is not just quietly “having” these opinions.
Delete your post and don’t make anything like it again. Zero fucking tolerance for Nazis.
Edit: wait I just had a look and this is a 5-day old troll account posting nazi shit all over Lemmy. Reporting and blocking
Rowling likes to hang out with Nazis because they agree on trans rights and that's more important to her than anything else
She's bringing her opinions to parliament and using them to kill people
How do I hire you to provide this as a 24/7 service.
Am I the sea lion, the human, the bucket, the fish, or the vest?
And better yet, which are you?
I think it references the term "sealioning," which means: someone on the internet who pops up, like a sealion, into an argument. He says, "BUT WHAT ABOUT XYZ?" which starts everyone responding and debating. But the sealion never continues the conversation. He was just there to disrupt.
Directly financing anti trans political movements
Lol bro wtf
I would normally agree with that, but in this case it’s really the only appropriate response. Did you even see the absolute idiocy khaleer was responding to? I mean, WTF, LOL.
k lol
Her opinions are old school mainstream. She's against the culture shift and if she existed decades ago, she's be more openly racist rather then transphobic.
“Kingsley Shacklebolt” and “Cho Chang”…
Seamus Finnigan being proficient in blowing shit up is another one that is nuts in retrospect.
She’s literally been denying the Holocaust killed trans people. She funded a court case that made it so that were I live in the UK, it would be illegal for me to piss in any public restroom.
That’s like saying David Irving was “viciously attacked for having opinions out of the mainstream.”
David Irving didn’t invent Holocaust denial. Is he guiltless in propagating it?
I’ve had a couple friends sprout bs like this.
What I’ve done with them is I ask them to check her twitter out with me. If more than 7 of her most recent 10 tweets at any time aren’t anti trans bs I’ll agree with them that she’s defending herself.
I’m gonna invite you to whenever you see this message go on her twitter and count. Then come back and tell me if she’s just defending herself or if she made it a huge part of her personality hating a minority.
She is not defending herself. She is attacking. She is funding hate groups with money.
Fuck Joanne and her stupid wizard world. It’s all built on ideas of imperialism apologia anyway
