I quite often have political thoughts in the shower, and also wish to express them; simply as being shower thoughts. However, rule number 3 prohibits this, or at least requiring me to dance around the subject; which feels somewhat limiting.
Despite this rule, there’s still a significant portion of politically charged posts, which may annoy others, not interested in political topics. I personally wouldn’t join the community, but rather visit it periodically; for an arguably healthier politics-life balance.
Therefore I’m not interested in starting a community myself; which is where some of you might be able to help out. I think this has the potential to greatly improve compliance to rule number 3, while still being able to express such thoughts, in a similar forgiving context.
Edit: it’s a reality at: Political Showerthoughts. So feel free to redirect any political posters to that subcommunity.
I even made an icon for it (with a voting pencil instead). Is there anyone who would be interested in making this thing a reality? As stated in the body of the post, I’m not politically involved enough to be a mod for the community.
Holy shit, is that a variation on an existing icon or did you just spitball a neat visual metaphor from scratch on the spot?
Both: I used the bulb, droplets and colors of the Showerthoughts icon, and did the pencil part myself. Thanks for the compliment though! :)
