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

Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here. (lemmy.world)

If we’re talking about acceptance of authority, right leaning folks are less likely to do so

Right-wingers love authority, especially if it's the kind they approve of. It's literally part of the ideology. A lot of them didn't wear masks because the right-wing grifters (like Tucker) told them not too.

Wearing masks during the pandemic was just smart, common sense and had nothing to do with authority, in spite of the right-wingers trying to make it seem like it was.
