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

i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

This is exactly what I’m talking about - I’m not Christian, I think Christianity is extremely bad (hell, one of my only two posts is a song by Greek Black Metal band Rotting Christ).

People just assume the worst if they don’t agree slightly with your opinion.

Edit: accidentally replied to this twice instead of your next reply.

Well I can tell you you have a blind spot when it comes to Israel. That seems to regularly cause arguments.

Have you considered that maybe you have a blind spot?

The majnstream opinion on a subject is not always the correct one.

Anyway I don’t want to argue about this, let’s just agree to disagree.

No, I'm not gonna agree to disagree. But I am willing to leave it at you're wrong.

Thank you for proving my original point in this thread, I guess.

Lol I assume I probably disagree with his position, but has he actually stated it anywhere yet?
