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.

At least try to put effort in your rage-bait.

Also men get killed when they get painted with the pedo label: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15466521/Moment-teenager-launches-bottle-attack-paedophile-shown-murder-jury-49-year-old-lured-meeting-girl-16-beaten-death-rocks.html Using Amber heard as an example is icing on the cake.

Low quality bait

Why not Renee Good?

I think OP accidentally posted two abusers.

A: Of all the abused women you could have picked, you chose Amber Heard?!?

B: Diddy is getting plenty of shit. If youbsee anyone cutting him slack, do point them out so they too can get proper roasted.

I know the bottom one is puff daddy, and he's in jail now. Who's the blonde?

Amber Heard. Not sure why op chose her since she lost the trial and the appeal and paid a settlement to johnny depp.

Although the trial was Depp suing her for defamation, and the fact that she paid a settlement doesn't actually mean anything was proven.

Amber Heard who is, ironically, defended for her case of domestic violence against Johnny Depp.

There’s a lot more nuance to it and both of them suck in the context of Heard vs. Depp, but she physically laid hands on Johnny Depp.

Amber Heard, she's in Spain now.

Women receive hatred for being assaulted.

100%. I was thinking Renee Good vs Trump.

To anyone automatically disimissing Amber Heard as an example here, FD Signifier made a great video essai about all that story :

I think FD Signifier actually pointed towards her documentary as a good example.

[–] Anuttara@leminal.space 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

How do I know if it's credible??

I don't know, just watch and make up your own mind. For the record, I don't think Amber is a saint, but clearly Johnny has some major issues. For instance, the fact that he wrote "I love you" on walls with his own blood is a verified fact (admitted by himself) and not the doing of a sane person.
