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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It makes no claims to be scientific... so it's measurably worthless?
You seem to be agreeing my dude
Damn bro rather be me without legs than you with millions you disgust me
You measure these things with surveys and interviews and design statics. AA claims to have success and relapse numbers, but I'd prefer independently run ones. Not everything scientific needs to be or can be a double blind trial.
If it's measurably, it can be improved. Even if AA works, does it have a better success rate then quitting cold turkey? Even if works, are there things that can be changed to make it work even better?
You sound like you're in a cult.
Only pussies pull out the "cult" word when they have obviously lost, as evidenced by that EXTREEEEEMELY stupid 'cold turkey' bit. Since you clearly know nothing at all about addiction or anything remotely related to it, you can fuck right off into the sun.
And ftr, I haven't been a part of AA since 2007. Yet all you assholes still claim "cult" when talking out your fucking ass about shit you know nothing about. Fucking morons.
