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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I thought it's just because the british empire is like a plague that's spreading everywhere..

I know this is probably a joke, but Crowns have been around for longer than Britain.

yeah I know, crowns have been there since prehistoric times. I guess it's just the easiest way to signify authority.

If you think in English, you've been mind-colonised before you're even self aware.

Did I colonize my own brain by immigrating to the US? 🤔
