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

MODERATORS
I'm sorry the world is changing too quickly for you to adapt, but you still can't say the "n" word.
See, I know what you are trying to say, and I would agree with the basis of it, but I’m not for using manipulation techniques (fake empathy, implied moral superiority, ad hominem attack) to “win” the argument.
What is he trying to say? Because what I hear is "Anyone who's opinion is not 100% in lockstep with mine is an evil fascist racist nazi transphobe".
Taking the comment in the best possible way, the person was pointing out that even if we’re nice and positive so far here on Lemmy, you will still be called out for blatantly racist comments.
That's quite a generous reading.
I still see "if you don't agree with me 100% you're a racist".
Thanks for proving my point.
