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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

And don’t get me started on raping the environment

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_Russia

Many of the issues have been attributed to policies that were made during the early Soviet Union, at a time when many officials felt that pollution control was an unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization

By the 1990s, 40% of Russia's territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste.[2] According to Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Russia is currently warming 2.5 times faster than the rest of the globe

And Russia somehow had it's own ecosystem and is not connected with the global climate.

You get a hard-on hating communism like some who hate blacks or muslims, you were conditioned into that. Rich western white people tend to do that.

you were conditioned into that

Better. My parents were born in it. My grandparents live through it, and I spend my childhood in ruined economy after this garbage has been abolished. If you played Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, this was my childhood IRL. (Stadium with illegal weapons and software included). Even with access to EU common market and EU infrastructure subsidies it took two decades before this place became worth living in.

You are a fucking child, and haven't seen a jack shit in your life.

I was born in 1977 in Yugoslavia. I could probably be your dad. Who could have learned you some manners.

Then I guess you forgot what kind of shit hole it was back then, and what kind of progress happened since the fall of communism in europe
