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 it's important to have people with diverse opinions, with exception ofcourse.

Some people's opinions are pretty fucked lol

Even those people are probably misguided, uneducated or scared.

Probably, but they could also just be evil. Some people actually want things which are not compatible with what many would consider fair.

I used to try to give people the benefit of the doubt

But lately I've been questioning if I should lol
