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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

I do get it though. Most of us want Ukraine to win. We ignore the information that we don't like. It's human.

But it's not helpful, especially when the reality sinks in that this war isn't easy, and thousands of young men are dying.

99% of what I see regarding this topic is either straight up war propaganda or people who are unabashedly unafraid to let others know that they are totally ignorant of post WW2 geo politics.

Anything other than "DAE just love Ukraine and that charismatic Zelensky! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜" gets down voted to oblivion. Its classic Red Scare 1980's bullshit lol. Even now I'm sure most who read this are scrambling for the down vote button because they think I'm some sort of Russian shill/supporter simply based off the fact that I'm not fellating the West's efforts.

You're not wrong but you're not a victim either. People disagree on message boards, people are dumbasses, that's what we get for hanging out here.

I'm not sure what led you to believe that I think I'm a victim of anything other than western propaganda, something I have in common with 99.9% of Americans.
