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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

Bud lite lost more in revenue partnering with a trans spokesperson, than Corona did for having the same name as a virus that caused a global pandemic. (lemmy.jmatyka.com)

And it wasn't even a full partnership, it was a single commemorative can. No one else in the world had that one can, there were no plans to sell more.

But the absolute worst thing was when AB InBev decided to walk back their tepid support of trans rights over the backlash. They pissed off the bigots for doing what was basically nothing, and then disavowed that nothing into pissing off the LGBT+ and general left leaning community.
