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.

They gave it to Kissinger after a decade of firebombing South East Asia, murdering a million peasants who only wanted a plot of land to grow rice after a century of French colonial dictatorship, denying the Vietnamese people their basic human right to democracy the entire god damn time.

That was over 5 decades ago. The prize is a joke, decided by oligarchs who are not like us, and do not stand for peace... always has been.

Not to mention that the prize itself was meant to whitewash the reputation of a war profiteer.

the winner would be the one that convices the other "we shouldn't fight"

Why pay per view? It shouldn't be locked, allow all the world to see why the person deserves the prize.
