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. 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've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (self.showerthoughts)

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.

Agreed. It's sad. I'd prefer to have a good balance but you get what you get.

No, thanks. I don't want a balance of normal people and fascist, racist, misogynist, anti-science, xenophobic, homophobic bigots. I just want the normal people.

Great comment on non leftist people. You should look in the mirror.

Pretending that people on the left are racist, misogynist bigots isn't going to fool anyone. Normal people know "both sides" are not the same.
