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

If God loved the GOP as much as Republicans think he does, he wouldn’t have made Jimmy Carter the longest living president in US history (self.showerthoughts)

Everything they think or due is driven by hate.

That's not very far off from politically active people in general nowdays, especially on social media. People seem much more willing to bond over the common hatred of an outgroup, rather than mutual love for something. I mean, here we are shitting on the republican party on a heavily left leaning forum with daily threads about Twitter, Reddit, Elon, Spez, Google, Billionaires, Capitalism etc. Very rarely I see as passionate discussions about common projects we're all equally excited about.
