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.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Bad news? We don't want the revolution of 20th century Russia, we live on 21st century earth! Better yet, lets do away with the christian calendar and do 1st century post capitalism.
I honestly think people will keep trying to sell capitalism to make themselves rich in the same way time shares still get sold when everybody knows they're scams.
You seem to forget we live in a planet that follows the laws of physics. Capitalism pretends it can bend those laws. But it will not happen
I'm not making a claim to the efficacy of capitalism. Quite the opposite, really. I'm saying con men will try to reinstate it so they can put themselves at the top.
