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

I think everyone does. That doesn't mean I approve of their actions, or agree with their opinions.

I think that even horrible people deserve to be treated humanly, as in no torture, but not with kindness.

What does the word kindness mean to you?

I suppose it's trying to approach any interaction with good intentions for every party, and to treat people humanly. But not necessarily nice or helpful
