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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not in my case, I think. Very stereotypical conservative, religious parents. Have rejected many of their bigoted values, kept the work ethic, tried to carry empathy to it's logical conclusion rather than stopping when they thought it was hard. I've changed religions. I think my country's military policy is abhorrent.
That's exactly what a person with Stockholm syndrome would say!....... /s
“But not me!”
—everyone
You wrote "all". Seems a lot of people disagree with "all".
Didn’t I just say that everyone thinks they are special? I’m quite aware that they do. That doesn’t make it true.
Then don't make generalising post titles with the words "we are all" when you are happy to contradict that with barely any persuasion.
Or just admit you wanted internet points and intentionally used a rage bait title like a filthy redditor
Bruh it’s a showerthought, not a doctorate thesis
Dude this is a shower thought. Like saying we are all in a VR. Most shower thoughts can start with we.
You're essentially saying that "nobody is special", which seems unlikely. Someone's gotta be!
Now now. I said everyone thinks they are special but that doesn’t make it true. I absolutely did NOT say that no one is special. That’s a different statement.
But how do you feel about universal healthcare?
That it's a wonderful thing and to let people suffer because of profit is evil.
Good on you
