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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Only when what our Federal Gov. claims it will do, but never even achieved it, when you consider miss-spending of tax dollars, for Capitalist believes of moving all resources up to The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners, while minorities in economics-resources (which includes almost all minorities of economics-races, worse in 1900-1960) decreases, especially with crises (created by The Capitalism favorite people/The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners). That being said, without it & the small amount of tax payers (not including The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners) going to everyone else, than it would a lot worse. Also the non-tax paying person/people only benefit from having more money/resources, anotherwards it is GREEDY to do. That is the reason I disagree with not paying taxes.
I am not telling you to stop paying taxes. Pay taxes over your wealth, not work.
Realy?
Income tax is work tax. You are paying 30% of your labor every month. Don't you get it? When you tax wealth and not work, a person with a billion dollars, gets taxed 20 million dollars a year, while a person with no wealth and gets 3K dollars a month, doesn't pay taxes, because he is poor af.
Currently, Billion dollar guy pays nearly nothing even though this won't effect his life much, while the worker pays 1K a month even though he needs it to live.
I think my previous reply proves I understand what you were saying, if you read it.
