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:

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.

The LGBTQ community should abandon multicolour rainbow flags and adopt blue, beige, black and white colors to confuse their haters.

Gay Pride Parade in Proud Boy outfits and colours would confuse the hell out of opponents.

EDIT: Did you see what they did in Budapest???

I think there's something to be said for removing the power of their symbols by using them for other things, but of course some things are too far yes

Can you tell me who the "apponents" are. Kinda feel like whoever that is, is a bigger issue.

MAGAts, Proud Boys, gay bashers in general. They love wearing their uniforms to blend in.

It always annoyed me that the LGBTQ people coopted the rainbow. Now, whenever I put a rainbow on something (sticker, poster, etc) everybody says, "gay".

But I don't care about gay. I just like rainbows.
