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.

WTF are you talking about?

No shit.

And what's this sophist "silence is violence" nonsense.

Violence is violence. If anyone thinks it and silence are the same, let's arrange a meeting with Mike Tyson.

Silence is violence? :)

I feel this is an attempt to get a rhyme going at the expense of logic failing.

I get what you are saying.

You are saying that people are part of the problem if they are bystanders to harm. The second part of what you are saying is that you shouldn't start gossiping about something you do not know enough about. It seems to me you are trying to say that you should be careful to speak the bare truth and to not assume or exaggerate in any way.

Sounds like a shower thought. I'm not sure why people are getting bent out of shape. Give this dude a break.

I'm often for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but the "keep your dumb mouth shut" part makes me feel like this is less of a shower thought and more of a "I didn't know where to complain" thought.

This reminds me of Depeche Mode's hit 1990 single entitled "Enjoy the Violence"

But seriously, what a dumb fucking thing to say. "Silence is Violence"

... I usually don't stand on a soapbox in my shower

Be the change that...

I'm guessing you didn't really think this one through. Perhaps try on Unpopular Opinions ?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I can smell your breath and stink from your stupid fucking title, that you have never taken a shower.
