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.

Catastrophes don't need to kill everyone to still be considered catastrophic. D'uh. Remarkable insights.

The claim was that the planet would be uninhabitable not merely that catastrophes would happen. The person you replied to is entirely correct.

Nobody has claimed otherwise. Perhaps tone down the smuggery a bit and read what's actually being said.

OP literally claimed that climate change would make the planet uninhabitable for humans, which is blatantly false. The person you are responding to is entirely correct, and now you sound like the smug one.

I'm the one who called them out for it.
