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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

I will point out that defence attorneys are important to upholding justice even if their client is guilty. Even criminals deserve a fair punishment, and a government that overreaches to declare harsh punishment without proving beyond reasonable doubt its justification is not justice either. Especially in the Marvel universe, where someone like Wilson Fisk can become mayor, it's quite important.
Or in our universe, where someone like Donald Trump can become president
I mean Wilson Fisk is probably still worse than Trump, but fair
I don't think Trump is hiring supervillain assassins yet
I'm basing this on the Netflix show (and not the new one as I haven't seen it), but Fisk is at least an empathetic person at times. There is a pathos there.
Trump is an empty husk of a human
I mean, yeah, Wilson Fisk is definitelty more human, but that doesn't make him good lol
I'm sure Trump has plenty of pathos for his good friend Jeffrey Epstein from all the evidence...
