Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else

I think you’re not understanding the intended slam.

‘Snowflakes’ are special and unique. (Notably, their crystalline pattern)

Every snowflake is special and unique. (Every single one has unique environmental factors that form their unique shape)

If every… ‘thing’ is special and unique, no ‘thing’ is special OR unique.

It’s basically saying “you value your perceived characteristics higher than they actually are valued in the grand scope”

  • 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
