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.

Bud lite lost more in revenue partnering with a trans spokesperson, than Corona did for having the same name as a virus that caused a global pandemic. (lemmy.jmatyka.com)

My original point was that saying something like this:

You think the people protesting bud for this are smart enough to know the difference and not buy something else by them? I'd be shocked if we could pick 10 protestors and more than 2 hadn't bought another product by them.

isn’t realistic or helpful. That it’s important to remember that people aren’t automatically stupid or lesser just because they are ignorant or misguided. It doesn’t take much energy to remember that even those who are intolerant are still people.

Whether you want to engage with them is a different story entirely! I know I rarely have the energy for it these days.
