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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lol, I responded to your message, and then went to look for the links to add. But my meds hadn't kicked in yet, and I got distracted.

These 2 videos are him discussing this topic, be warned, they're 20 and 15 minutes. Personally I find his delivery and information engaging enough to watch, but only somtimes.

I saw a notification and read half your comment, but then you deleted it.

Did you end up watching the vid and changing your mind? It’s been a minute since I watched it, and also only caught part of your comment, so I don’t know if your concerns were addressed.

I’m always open to constructive discussion .
