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.

MODERATORS
 

Merriam defines

So hate is just the extreme end of an "unfriendly feeling" which is synonymous to a negative feeling. We can go "golden middle" on this and say that moderate negative feelings are ideal, but even the moderate form seems synonymous to bias or prejudice.

No, I've tried twice to point out the simple concept of not being able to do something and its relation to iii@mander.xyz 's comment, I thought the second attempt may have been a bit too condescending but apparently it wasn't.

I'm sorry but you're on your own.

Ok, it is tragic that it is difficult for you to express yourself. I am reminded of the 3 monkeys: see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. Screens distort what we see. Headphones block out our listening. And the decline in literacy and reading as well as civility is making it hard to speak. It would be a dark time once our eyes, ears, and mouths are closed off from each other
