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-----

Beep boop. I am robot.. beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can't tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don't go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I'm an ass. Let me know cause I've said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

Interesting article

I'm too chicken to talk to girls so they must be fascists.

Op, probably.

9/10 posts in this community are stoned people or edge lords. Not sure how they all seem to miss the mark of "shower thought".

Um, excuse me..

Since when does beauty have anything to do with political opinion?

And since when does political opinion have anything in particular to do with showerthoughts?

I'm not sure exactly which variety it is, but I'm diagnosing you with derangement syndrome

What crap. Since when is appearance necessarily associated with intelligence?

I do believe that Republicans have a higher ratio of blondes and cat haters. Not sure if those things are attractive.
