It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Yeah it's a problem with social media, twitter in particular. Nobody wants to put time into understanding any nuance, (and on twitter there's not enough characters to explain the nuance) so it's easier to jump to conclusions and go along with people that have jumped to conclusions because if you don't people will think you're on the "wrong side".

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
