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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Let's start to the Florida curriculum telling kids the good things about slavery and move on to objecting to giving schoolchildren free school lunches. Then there's the encouraging suicides of trans kids by taking away the one thing preventing that suicide. I can keep going if you like.
It is not. I've read the text myself. You're gaslighting.
Bullshit. Cite your sources.
Sure, as soon as you cite your sources and stop gaslighting.
Then quote it
Sure thing:
Now cite your source.
That's a factual statement
No it isn't. There is no benefit to a skill if you're a slave. None.
Still waiting for that source...
Not that you're gonna listen to me but.... I grew up in Florida in the 90's. It was racist then and it's racist now.
It was homophobic then. And it's homophobic now.
Did you know that there are people moving out of Florida in DROVES and moving all the way across the US to live in Oregon instead??
