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.

So much focus on the idea that the ICE crackdown is a distraction from the Epstein files makes me wonder if it isn’t the other way around-get people to focus on the idea of a cover up that they don’t resist a fascist takeover as effectively as they otherwise might.

pretty sure those files would uncover a LOT of bad shit. rape, murder, human trafficking etc etc from essentially the 'elite' all across the globe. FFS they threw kids bodies into lakes, and that's only what they released. there is probably torture, forced druggings, executions, decapitations etc etc etc... I'd bet the things they do make isis look tame.

everything is a serious issue, and they are using each thing to distract from each other. flood you with info so you can't keep track of anything.

It's deeply fucked, there are publicly circulating screenshots that on their own are pretty damning evidence that individuals including but not limited to top billionaires and public officials traipsed on over to pedophile goddamn island and partied with quantities of drugs that we literally know because they kept inventory.

Nowhere near the number of people who we have confirmation were involved have been arrested.

So it's like goddamn now what do I do? I am to say the least very upset.

I don't even know what my protest sign should say anymore, "I WOULD NEED A MUCH LARGER SIGN TO DISPLAY ALL THE CAUSES I AM CURRENTLY AGITATED ABOUT"?

They get to that level of wealth and power by a compulsive need to one-up each other...

Which means they're gonna do horrible shit just to be the one who's done the worst shit.

Let that cycle spin for a couple decades, and shit gets ugly

Back in the day, years & years ago, ‘America’s Lawyer Mike Pappantonio (SP?)’ host Mr. Pappantonio (SP?) was given a photocopy of Epstein‘s little black book, by a whistleblower & was reading-out all the names in it.

The problem with The USA or any government (or any Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners controlled organization) having the files is they will Redact/Blackout all evidence against people in the politicians’ favor. Funny thing about this is I did come-up with that obvious problem, even crazier neither did any Political Left expert on the political shows-media I experience, until after they were released with Redacted/Blackedout evidence. Months before, the only person to predict the obvious was my own mother. So no, forever we really will only find out very little. If any Political Left expert on the political shows-media was not prevented from releasing the same or better information, then we would find out a ton.
