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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Depends on what you think the status quo and natural order of life is.

If you think the status quo and order of life is burning coal and oil (and drill baby drill), then anything that changes that is radical, liberal, and evil to their way of life. That was the world they grew up in, so that's the world they want to conserve.

Only if you can see the bigger picture and beyond your personal life does conservative and conservation become anti pollution.
