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.

This is not said with any kind of malice to the trans community, I respect my trans homies. But literally no one gives a shit about dudes.

As a transfem person, you're not that wrong. I've noticed much more caring from people after I transitioned. There are negative effects, but in general I've got much more positive attention than negative. People shouldn't be prejudiced against cis men just because of their gender :(

Did you notice you get more support from one sex over the other?

I find it hard to believe that the average male would be more willing to care about a transperson's feelings over another male's. I can easily see the average female being the opposite, though.
