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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

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:

Yup you have more in common with those you hate than you'll admit.

And the people you oppose think the same for you.

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.

The real problem here is your poor reading comprehension. 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.

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 📽️🪞
