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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

This was common and ended the summer after the Salk vaccine. Your identity is clearly based on your ignorance.
What makes you think the vaccines didn't cause the deaths in the first place ? "Vaccine Induced polio - Sabin type"
Isn't it odd that the only thing free in "healthcare" is vaccines?
Why do I believe vaccines work?
Because science is verifiable.
Why am I "triggered" because my "identity is under attack"?
I'm not triggered, and you're not attacking my identity. You're refusing to believe in verifiable facts. If you tell me that the sky isn't blue, then the proper response isn't debate. The proper response is to look at the sky, see that it is blue, and conclude that you're fucking stupid.
Thank you for your response.
I am willing to learn from you and verify your scientific results and in-depth analysis any day.
BTW, you know the sky isnt just blue right? That the wrong question.
For now, please consider the following inspiring video:

This is what people with no education say, mate.
This clown is a perfect exemple of someone without intelligence/wisdom figuring out propaganda is a thing and spiraling out of control into an unhealthy paranoia leading to actual societal harm (not vaccinating is causing harm).
"Not vaccinating is causing harm"
What makes you say this?
Please Make it make sense.
Mate, read the room, no one is buying your bullshit, that's what Truth Social is for.
THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK DID?
All of human history, plagued by this disease, 300 million deaths in the 20th century alone, someone developed a vaccine, and poof, it's gone. Just like that. Country by country, as the vaccine spread, the disease disappeared. Countries that didn't have the vaccine yet, like the one where that picture was taken, still had smallpox, when other countries had eradicated it. Then they got the vaccine and it was gone.
How the fuck do your conspiracy theories explain that?
Because of overwhelming scientific evidence.
Because you are promoting lies that are getting innocent people killed as we speak.
Hey! Thanks for the honest response.
I understand that vaccines seem like the obvious saviours for eradicating some dis-ease states. Although there is much more to that story which may require exploring various perspectives and worldviews with more time.
"Because you are promoting lies that are getting innocent people killed as we speak."
That is your perrogative.
This is a conversation that many people are in such denial about!
If you don't defend yourself by filling your mind with the true understanding of what's happening in the world, others will fill it for you. And use the conditions planted in your mind, to use you.
Knowing a ledge is only half way to Wisdom.
Since Children are the future!
And we are all Children, it is urgent to be empowered as opposed to disempowered or down.

Classic example of pseudo-intellectual bullshit. No, I'm not getting my science from fucking YouTube.
You speak of Science as if its fixed?
If you can't question it, it is not Science, its propaganda.
BESIDES, you may find many sources and references on youtube, which you are free to pursue and investigate yourself.
The reason why Anthroposophy or Jainism [ just to name a few ] are completely ignored from view is because they expose the inconvenient truth with vaccines or modern life which is not good for the business of Slavery.
Have a nice day!
