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.

You mean letting the poor carry....the nobles still could and had bodyguards that carried as well.

Anti-2a people lick the same boot as the maga chodes...

That's the neo-liberal for you. When progress is on the rise, they coddle up with fascism to keep it down. Madani is a perfect example. The Democrat establishment did all it legally could to stop him winning, they'd rather have had the right win than someone actually on the left promising meaningful change. Very telling.

It happened yes, but the law was for no one to and roman republic politics ran smoothest when it was enforced.

No that was the norm. Nobles and high class people had arms and the poor and working class was unarmed. It was that way to keep them from revolting

Damn with a claim like that you've got a primary source right there don't you?

Good to know you're not armed.
