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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. (lemmy.world)

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

what do you think about in the shower?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Not about politicians in my country, that is for sure. They're the last people I want to think about naked and soapy.

that's why i think about politics more broadly, not politicians.

Damn it now you got me thinking about naked and soapy politicians, now where's the mental eye bleach.

Maybe they just stare blankly at the floor, or read the ingredients on the shampoo bottle again for the 14 thousandth time.

true, that is an option. Staring at the floor is a solid way to spend a shower ngl
