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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It’s been a long day, and I chose to drink… so I’ll bite. There’s definitely been what seems an increase in public awareness of narcissism and manipulation, but the “general public”, to me, has taken free reign on what exactly that means. I see a lot of accurate and also complete misinformation regarding those two topics within social media.

It feels all the rage these days, but maybe I’m just getting old. “Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one” was a good mantra growing up that I try to apply to most facets of life.
