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

Oooowkay! So sorry for my surprised comment. I totally get, and agree with, what you actually said.
Being from not-the-capital-city of my country but living there, I struggled with the uttermost self-centeredness of its inhabitants.
I do think knowing topology and geography of things and places is much more than basic general information. For me it relates to "feeling" a place, and belonging somewhere. But what do I care where the upper east whatever is...
Also, culture production might have something to do with all of this : An open letter to NYC - The Beastie Boys
