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.

Only if you have a sign posted, reading “All ye who enter here forfeit thine selves – body, mind, spirit, and soul – to the owner of these lands, until such time as ye leave or are slain,” with the sign carved from stone by hand, with a willowbark dagger, blessed under the light of a blood moon, approximately eight feet tall, flanked by two shrubberies – that look nice and are not too expensive – and visible to all who enter, lit eternal by the captured light of the new moon.
Two shrubberies?!? Couldn't I just cut down a tree with a herring or something?
This would be funnier if it understood the argument. Instead this comment mocks what it doesnt understand
Put down the salvia, it ain't working right for you.
Isn't it just trespassing?
ok so imagine someone is trespassing. If you use your property rights to exclude them from your property, then all the possible timelines of them existing on your property has been deleted. You have thus defined their being-ness. Even the phrase "someone is trespassing" is subject, verb, and adverb which is to say that 1.) a thing 2.) exists 3.) in a particular way. Therefore property rights are necessarily owning the existence of others and determining how they get to be in the world. You have essentially segregated a part of the world where they can no longer exist.
Think about the hypothetical where all of the land in the world is privately owned, assuming you too own a square chuck of land. In this world, your freedom to exist is limited to just your land. You are in essence imprisoned in your gridlocked land much in the same way a fish is trapped in a fishbowl. Now imagine you do not own land. Where would you go? You have nowhere to go. The floor under your feet has been ripped away so to speak. The carpet has been pulled under you. You do not get to exist as you are. What is it called to not exist? Death, nothingness, void, zero, null, lifeless.
This is to say that land is a fundamental aspect of reality (space) that defines all people and things. i do think a re-evaluation of property rights is warrented considering it underlies all of "stuff" and matter and our very own existence
SovCit?
No
Time and place relative to what?
All matter has attributes of time and space, like I'm writing this comment in September (time) on planet earth (space). If planet earth was owned by a country that I wasn't a citizen of, then I probably couldn't have made this comment. Instead, I would be floating in outer space, on another planet, dead, or something.
Was there a particular substance that led to this epiphany, and do you have enough to share with the class?
Nope
Do you happen to live in a southern state?
