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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

My beliefs are my own, If I Wanted To Be Like Everyone Else I'd Be A Republican. I will always think everyone is an equal except republicans, they are less than human and after this orange pedophile shit deserve nothing in this lifetime and any after. You reap what you sow, I have and always will stand up for anyone that isn't a Republican
Yup you have more in common with those you hate than you'll admit. Everyone's a good person in a world full of bad people.
no they're not, plenty of these motherless fucks know exactly what they're doing is wrong and do it anyway. brutalism/might makes right etc. your kindness is weakness to animals like this, and will be used against you
My kindness? Are you insane? Ugh you people are insufferably ignorant.
LMAO, I'm what they project at everyone else, I'll own that much. Not even close to what they are. I sure the fuck ain't a push over chicken shit democrat. I only think those that voted this in and support this and the wealthy should be tried as treasonous cunts they are
And the people you oppose think the same for you. The fact that your can't understand that just keeps proving my point.
Some people during WWII thought hitler should die. Telling them "Hitler thinks the same thing about you, so therefore you're the same/just as bad as hitler" is a non-starter.
That isn't what I said...
Your whole argument seems to fail to account for the paradox of intolerance. You're suggesting we should tolerate the intolerant if we want to be better than them. Such is not the case. It's called appeasement, and allows intolerance to gain a foothold.
That's also not what I said... The real problem here is your poor reading comprehension.
If this is about my reading comprehension, then explain what you meant by this and this:
The mechanisms of the brain that reach conclusions are the same. The reaction to influence and how that manifests in behavior. The idea that the "other" is flawed in their beliefs while the "self" is the correct belief.
The "other" wants me to be raped to death in men's prison, and are currently changing the legal system to make that happen.
I just want them to stop trying to torture and kill me.
I'm pretty sure anti-fascists are correct while fascists are flawed. You can disagree with me, but that will tell me everything I know about you. If you think that makes me the same as a fascist, well you have a very convoluted mind
I give up. You are fundamentally unable to understand what's being said versus what you want to be said.
Do you wrestle with knowing that your political and moral leanings are not only influenced by their counterparts, but also with not knowing if those beliefs are even truly choices you make? You have more in common with those you hate than you'll admit. Everyone's a good person in a world full of bad people. And the people you oppose think the same for you. The fact that you can't understand that just keeps proving my point.

Oh are we don't role reversal? Here, I'll be you...
Duuuuhhhhh.....
Good one 🤣
Clearly you just revealed that you're too dense to realize that I was pointing out your hypocrisy and projection (along with the fact that it's not my comprehension that's the issue here), so you now implying that I'm brainless is just the icing on the cake 📽️🪞
What is this both sides horseshit? Your beliefs are pathetic.
It's not a both sides thing... Dealing with people who are unable to understand what's being said is so frustrating. Like, I know you people aren't stupid, but there's something lacking in y'all's ability to comprehend. Also, why the hostility? You think insulting me is going to have an impact? I don't know you or value your opinion.
I get it, but sometimes people need a taste of their own medicine, when you grow up you'll understand this
I'm likely older than you, and I'm certain you don't get it.
I highly doubt that
Well if you are some 70 year old then you certainly don't act your age. Also, trying to belittle me with age is just sad. I can do it too... Draw a clock.
