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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

3rd/4th largest city in the country (constantly back and forth with Chicago) and Houston is always somehow forgotten ๐Ÿ˜ข

If I was associated with Texas, I'd also rather be forgotten...

Yeah sure, population of 30 million people, but let's just write them all off as forgotten. Or be a grown up and realize that Texas and the wider world are not black and white and more a variety of grey shades. There are bad people here, there are also good people here.

Doesn't your voting system do that anyway?
