    They both can be true. We may have vast cultural differences, but we all want to live in an affordable, safe place and be paid what we’re worth while having the security of proper healthcare.

      Unfortunately, at no point in either of our lives has your comment described The United States of America.

        It does describe your average citizen, not politicians or capitalists.

    While Weird Al’s “Party in the CIA” tells you how it is.

    There are definitely cultural differences, but for its size, the US is really homogeneous. As an example, Tom Scott’s video on “jingle bells, batman smells” shows way more regional variation in the UK compared to the US, despite being smaller than some states.

    We are more the same than we are different, and there’s a lot of value in where we do differ.

    Equally as shallow, just different in their flavour of shallowness? 🤔

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
