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: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Religion is politics, and I think the abrahimic religions were the most succesful propaganda of all time. I'm talking regarding humankind and its relationship with the test of nature. Religione got turned into a weapon against the actually creations of divinity

Yes! I always think about the fact that the Hebrew law against eating pork is because the ancient tribes were migrant herders, and their competition was farming communities. You can't herd pigs, but you can herd sheep, and you don't want to enrich those other people so you make a dictate against eating pork. Not politics, but economics, although in a lot of ways that's a distinction without a difference.
