It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Still peddling FUD?

IDK, I didn't read it. Piss off with your disingenuous "no solution is good enough" anti-progressive bullshit

idk maybe you'll have to read it and find out. Maybe i should start writing furry smut in these posts though, you would probably read them then.

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.
