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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Is it really smugness to deny one's one magical origin and special status in creation?
I'm not sure what pleasure you get from telling e.g. women that magic isn't real, that astrology is bs, and that crystals are only pretty and don't have special powers. If I were such an unfulfilled person, I'd resolve to get another hobby. Possibly environmentalism or something.
And I'm talking about people that are specifically chauvistic for a hobby and anti-intellectual. I'm not talking about the average normal person that dislikes Catholics or some other misogynistic elements of religion.
