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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Rightwing religious extremists are basically a death cult that doesn't suicide...
Dying is "god bringing us home" and something they are usually happy about.
If you think the only thing standing between you and an eternity of a heavenly afterlife is your own death, a long life is a bad thing.
"only the good die young"
Yeah they'll find a way like that around any argument
