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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Conservative trolls are by and large generally stupider than Liberals, and can't figure out how to onboard the Fediverse yet, which is great
It's funny how people think both this and states 4chan has always been rightwing since 2000s. The truth is your political bias says nothing about your intelligence. Stating otherwise just looks like boosting one's ego to me.
Also the reason you don't see right wing opinions on Lemmy is probably by and large because the right wing instances are being defederated by larger left-leaning Lemmy instances. Not saying if thats wrong, but that's just how it is.
What a very Reddited thing to say.
I'm liberal but yeah it's hilarious to see all these fucking idiots lumping together entire groups based on a political view.
Well said. Never underestimate someone’s ability to be stupid based upon their politics. It’s how we end up with absolute idiots in office.
There’s nothing Reddit about it- some things are just universally true.
I'm liberal. Non techy. The week of the blackout i googled 'Reddit alternatives', clicked a few buttons, made a name and password, and that was it. I don't get why so many fedders think it's too difficult for others. It's a hell of a lot easier than Pinterest. I still don't get that shit.
Same. It was effortless honestly.
In echo chambers, sure.
If you consider reality to be an echo chamber, I guess. But I think a better definition of an echo chamber would be all of the conservative based subs that churn out the same provenly false bullshit over and over.
