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.

You can just say "it's not that bad to threaten violence to communists" or "I disagree with piefed being a Nazi-bar instance" instead of playing rhetorical and asking 12 questions per comment, we're gonna move on much faster.
I'm pointing out your double standards when judging instances, and your accusation - even if entirely true, doesn't remotely meet the threshold of being nazi at all.
As the poem goes, "first they came for the communists"
Why did they come for the communists first? And who did?
So anyone who is rude to a communist is automatically a nazi? Is that your genuine position?
And can you tell me why you don't also make these same claims to lemmy.zip?
Being rude = threat of violence?
I'll write it one more time: if an instance bans a communist but not the person threatening said person with violence, it's a Nazi-friendly community
Then this equally applies to lemmy.zip, presumably. But apparently it doesn't.
As I said: Also, whether or not you characterise it as a threat (I think it’s unsavoury and emotive and violent rhetoric, but not really a threat as such unless you specifically plan to go to Poland or something) - it doesn’t automatically make them or someone a nazi.
And you're not answering my question: And can you tell me why you don’t also make these same claims to lemmy.zip since the user is from there?

That's up to you, but you've made a bunch of assumptions in everything here.
