Showerthoughts

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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

I feel like I’m unwilling to debate the morality while all the practical steps to mitigate the risk haven’t been taken.

That might actually be a very very good strategy in US politics. The "we can talk morality when you stopped being a bigot and support sex ed and child welfare" kind of line. Put the rabid conservatives on the moral defensive.
