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.

Ok, ok, hold your horses.

I mean it. Every little community would have to share a limited place. At first, everybody tried to be stronger than the other. But after only two days. Osu teached that what matters is not the drawing, it is the general shape. Then bigger communities started to accept, protect and defend little ones. Knowing, they will defend themselves and so yourself too.

The amount of funny politics was awesome.

I was from the fuck spez movement. A big black ugly FUCK SPEZ. To have accepted a lot of different community inside us send a more beautiful message. Every communities united to make a giant FUCK SPEZ.

i learned later that the anarchy flag is black so everyone is in them.

Union is strength, Diversity is happiness and creativity. both are true ;)

I think you could add to this. I am not in the mental state to develop it better but it made me smile xD

I hope you find it funny too ;)

What if i told you that everything that has ever happend has always been anarchy?

Every individual has the inherent freedom to make any choice they want, including breaking the law.

Every individual has the freedom to defend the law by punishing/beating up those they perceive as breaking the law.

Knowing the consequences of your actions helps chosing wether its benefitial to exercise certain freedoms but does not remove that inherent freedom. You are free to choose to do things even if you know you will suffer from them.

The only way any indivual can establish dominion over another, is if that other doesn’t continue to reject that authority.
