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'm not sure that's true. One side has empathy. The other does not. I don't want to be friends with someone who doesn't have empathy.
The world is not binary like that. Your side is not all good and the other side is not all bad.
One would need empathy to see it that way ;)
Empathy is something that can be learned like any ability, it isn't always a binary you have it or you don't.
