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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

I can tell I'm getting old because I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having a clue what this post is about. I'm actually kind of proud of the fact that this all reads like a foreign language to me.
I've never understood people that feel the need to brag about not knowing about things. If you dont care about it why waste the time to be smug about it. Who is the performative ignorance for?
You're in a community dedicated to sharing random thoughts. I shared mine. The logic isn't hard to follow despite how much you seem to want to be the gatekeeper of acceptable speech.
Defending the right to say something rather than defending what was said? That tracks.
That reaction tracks too.
