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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

And sometimes it literally is USA propaganda. It's quite rare, but those articles should get fixed. Changing something like "The guerrilla fighters killed babies" to "The US State Department claimed the guerrilla fighters killed babies, but critics call the claim "wholly unfounded" [source]".
But yea, as I said, actually a lot more rare than you'd think.
