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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- 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

That sounds like the ministry of truth. Perhaps we should just ban any non state run media.
I get where you are coming from but state run media comes with a huge price.
UK, Nordics, Germany, Netherlands and a lot of other European countries have state run media. In many cases it's the least biased media. People in the UK would use "ministry of truth" about the BBC unironically
