I mean - I probably got to live the very best of the 90s Americana as a suburban kid with an old computer and a modem in it.

I still saw a lot of shit going on in the world. I mean … AIDS pandemic, anyone? Remember fear around shaking someone’s hand?

Sometimes I think the problem is that at any GIVEN time, like 2/3 of people aren’t paying attention to what is happening outside their own immediate experience.

It is intensely difficult to join those ⅔. It takes more than adding fascists’ names to your Lemmy filter tell ya that much.

I’m supposed to be walking even more now. I have no ability left to forget difference between what should be and what this garbage today is. Play some old favorite shows in my earbuds? Idfk.

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

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: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct

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.
