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.

So you'd start off by getting shot? Or do you think people are just going to give you their stuff?

Problem solved.

Even if you managed to somehow get a group of people to follow you (why would they want to?), you're now in a state of war. Look up the Zapatistas in Mexico and their conflict with the cartels for an example of why you won't win.

You're approaching this like you're a villain from the walking dead, real life is a bit more complicated than you 'well I'd just get an army and win' mentality.

It's an equal society, so if they have a gun, I have a gun. So I'd shoot them first. Or I'd point the gun at them and tell them to drop their gun and then do what I told them to if they don't want to get shot.
