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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it's only for US politics. But it's not called "usonlypolitics" it's called "politics". Somehow they don't see the problem with that.

Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.

But why would the world champions of egg handball see a problem with this?

Easy to be the world champion in egg handball if you're the only country that plays that version of egg handball.
