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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

UBI is far more pluralist than democracy, because democracy is corrupt promises with Zionist/CIA and other power supremacist agendas that only has money for those goals. UBI is the freedom to do anything, including cooperating with others on group enterprises where payoff is future success based.
Where government's role is an administrator taking care of pluralist prosperity/needs of its people, instead of a king/power hierarchy that steals prosperity for its "in group", only UBI can provide the function because people can afford to take care of themselves, and prosperity programs fund more UBI. Every single program/war proposal must be compared to an increased cash dividend to people.
Only pure evil that needs hierarchical slavery for their political power, including the left, opposes UBI, and so UBI cannot come from existing political systems, because they are all pure evil power maximizing.
