Showerthoughts
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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
protests the Holocaust
"Oh my god, that's so Germanaphobic! You monster!"
I would be 0% surprised if the 1930s version of that did in fact happen. "Those fucking poles can't run a country, good on Hitler to show them how to keep their rabble in check" or something like that, and spoken in a transatlantic accent.
They did, there was a lot of backlash against anti-nazis, especially pre-holocaust. Partially because nazi propoganda was so effective across the world. But also partially because anti-Semitism was practically mainstream across the world.
US famously rejected a boat of 900 jewish and other German refugees cause 1 dude lied (these people would be sent back and 40% of them would later die in the holocaust). We were terrified of foreign spies, which is an attitude that culminated in it internment of the Japanese. We were offered Jewsih refugees many times, including like 20,000 children, we rejected them.

Right on track, the US is deporting Russian dissidents back to Russia, where they'll likely be tortured. Thank a lot, republicans! Really helping out your pal putin.
I doubt it since the holocaust happened 70 years ago
I 100% agree but you do realize most people did not go out and protest the jewish holocaust while it was going on?
Jews becoming supremists, falling for a Reichstag fire event, staying quiet, and following orders to comitt a genocide against a semite population is not something I had on my bingo card.
Do you know nothing of Israels history? Even before the country was formed (and before WW1) when it was Zionist extremists pouring into the region, this was always the end goal.
Einstein even clued onto what Israel was very quickly once he saw it.
its a bit more complex, sadly. german antifascist groups have been leaning towards being very zionist
You can't be anti-fascist and pro-zionism. That's like being against animal cruelty except for chickens.
I completely agree. anti-Deutsch have be3j internationally condemned
Who protested against the Holocaust?
University never apologised. Turns out universities always sided with fascism, that's not a new thing
That's against Nazis. Not a lot of people knew about the Holocaust outside of Germany.
I found this one, which happened in Berlin and led to the release of 1800 Jewish people (!).
A lot of people knew.
Resistance networks who hid and smuggled targets out of reach at the very least.
A form of protest, perhaps, but probably not what OP was thinking of.
Yes and that started before the outbreak of war. For example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindertransport
Seems mostly driven by religious, Jewish and Quaker groups who I'm sure organised demonstrations and petitioned governments and so on.
They might not have known the full details, or how it escalated and spread into occupied territory after the war started, but most of europe's political leaders knew for sure something pretty awful was causing tens of thousands of refugees. I think krystallnacht was public knowledge and made it pretty much impossible to ignore.
I think most of these countries could have done more a lot sooner. Accepting the child refugees was pretty much a bare minimum that they just couldn't refuse.
But even FDR didn't get this bill through in the US, which seems pretty crazy in retrospect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner%E2%80%93Rogers_Bill
Are you sure they were not just anti-germanic!?
Then there are those who ask to expand the Holocaust and increase the throughput that disengaged people indirectly support by not arguing/voting against their wishes at least.
Jews in other countries probably protested against the Holocaust but most didn't for the Gaza War(s)
