Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

doesn't count, it wasn't by a trans student or they were "gang violence"

Didn't Voldemort, like, grow an entirely new body after his previous one was obliterated? That's gotta count as some form of trans- prefixed thing, right? Like transubstantiation?

The new body is distinctly inhuman, so it's also transhumanism.

And nobody knows what to call them, so they just say "you know who"

I don't think cloning is a trans thing

He did change the appearance of his original body pretty drastically, though. Maybe horcruxes are just how JKR views transition.

Every time you factcheck a transphobe your gender fragments and becomes harder to destroy

Oof ouch right in my genders

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 6 points 20 hours ago

If you fragment your gender into small enough particles, it will become a gender fluid

The school sorts you into one of four gangs for this express purpose.
