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.

if you use Bitcoin as a "store of value", you're indirectly supporting drug cartels

🥱

Oh wee got to the point where you've just completely shut down and are just having such a tantrum you won't even inputting words, but have to spam smileys.

"Yawn", like some kid told me earlier.

"Holding" =/= investing

Using =/= holding.

I've asked a few times now, what's your native language? Can't be English, can it?

"Exponential" has a meaning as well. Remember when you told me to check it, and I did, and then you still stomped your foot about how Bitcoin didn't have exponential growth in value, or if it did, then gold did as well, then you proceeded to prove yourself wrong? Remember that?

Well, that all happened after I linked you proof of how there's trillions in value being used by the drug trade. This means that if you invest in that market, it's value will grow, and the people who already have the largest market portion and are holding the most, experience the most profit. And those people, like I've proved a dozen times, are criminals.

But you can't address any of that. You can't even say anything anymore.

Just keep shaming yourself publicly, because you can't stand behind your words, you fumble make embarrassing mistakes, prove yourself wrong with your own data. It's ridiculous.

Let's see how you're gonna continue this tantrum.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone put so much effort into shadowboxing to defend such a boring take.

🥱

I'll add it to the pile along with how I'm murdering Gazan babies and burning the planet.

Like I've said all along, you know you're wrong, and you're just unable to admit it. I've seen this tantrum literally thousands of times online.

What you should do is take the L and slink away, but you wont.

You'll keep replying out of some weird obsession, despite being very clearly wrong about a bunch of things, which I'm gonna list once more.

I proved my claim that supporting Bitcoin indirectly supports drug cartels, (with data from Europol among other sources). You couldn't accept it. You started having this tantrum, which I've been being entertained by for days.

You said Bitcoin hasn't had exponential growth, and then thought that gold did, and then linked data proving yourself wrong.

How much more can you shame yourself man? Just take the L, bow and next time don't talk about shit you don't understand the basics of. :D

More shadowboxing backing up a boring take

🥱

Edit because max comment depth reached:

because you're still trying to "win" a debate

Okay, the irony of this one actually made me snort audibly.

your ego will force you to come here

snort

Exactly as I called it.

More pathetic avoidance, because you're still trying to "win" a debate you yourself proved yourself wrong in.

It's hilarious.

You need less physical gold today to buy a house than in 1901. Yet you cry "go look at the definition of the word 'exponential'". I genuinely can't make up stuff this hilarious. And you keep giving me more.

So, I have proved and sourced my claim and all you can do is spam immature garbage. Does it make you feel like a winner? ;>
