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.

Not really. People may talk shit about comments, but if it was just a matter of getting just articles, you might as well stick to the news sites. Even as far as pure news aggregation goes there are better options than relying on whatever a handful people decide to share here.
There's value in public commentary too. It may not be as polished as these articles but it provides a variety of perspectives, questions and criticism that might be pertinent, and for as lacking or biased as they may be, it's much easier to tell compared to sources trying to pretend impartiality.
There's a reason why we are here and not on, say, Feedly. This particular community only highlights it further, since it's entirely based on the interpersonal element. Ain't nobody looking for journalism or scientific articles on !Showerthoughts
Hey, im clearly in phase with that.
What I've told you I've seen it though.
An feminist articles attacking the male vision on a pure "male subject" like computers and that's just a fight like you can see elsewhere.
In that case, for example, the title is enough to tilt some. I've seen arguments told but if the articles were read, they would have never used it 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know if I'm clear. But I agree with you, just told you me feeling BC of you know, experience x)
100%. i'd be more interested in knowing what some guys in a bar in NYC were saying when hitler died versus reading an article about it. articles are just facts put in order. biased opinions make us human.
Thanks for sharing your opinion about it.
