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:

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.

Hacking the US gov is easier than ppl think, it's kinda like the Maginot line. You dont need to attack the governments most protected infrastructure, you only need a weak point to break in. In this case the weak point is the unsecured DOGE email servers that are easy to impersonate and easy to hack.

Hacking the US government is like the Chinese finger traps of hacking. Its easy enough to get in, but probably quite a mess when you go to get out. At least if they catch you anyways

If you're hacking the US gov im pretty sure that means you're willing to accept all risks associated to help fight Fascism. Yeah obviously it comes with risks, all forms of resistance does.
