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

Based on OPs willingness to admit that other people fighting for their very basic human rights as annoying, I'll answer for them and say yes.
This. So many people's lives are inherently political and opting out is a privilege.
Drag doesn't think opting out is a privilege. Drag thinks being apolitical is a marginalised identity. Aroace people don't participate in the political systems of romance and sex. ASPD people don't respect political laws or norms. Drag thinks being political is the normal thing to do, and society punishes those who are less enmeshed in the dominant politics.
Drag gets blocked by a lot of people every time Drag comments like Drag is nine years old.
