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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Donald Trump is like Dr. Bronner’s evil twin (lemmy.world)

He writes insane things in all caps that are divisive, instead of hopeful. His products are overpriced, flimsy, and deceptive, instead of cost effective, long lasting, and simple (this isn’t an ad, this is probably not a comparison they’d invite, but I’m happy to reword this if it feels like too strong a recommendation). He takes the worst parts of religion and distorts them to suit his purposes, instead of using just the best parts of various religions and other writers to try and find a universal message.

I mean, that's not a trump thing. That's a republican thing.

True, but the grift that is a thrice-divorced philanderer who made his fame in business in casinos selling commemorative bibles is a real paragon of it.

When you see or listen to trump you feel icky dirty. Dr Bronners makes me feel squeaky clean.

I think the soap leaves a grit in my sink. My husband does woodworking though, so it could be sawdust.

I haven't used Bronner's soap in years, but unless something is radically different, that's sawdust.

I mostly use it in the shower, so that might be true.
