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

I remember back in the late 90s being in college. I brought my girlfriend to class one day. She raised her hand after the professer was explaining Master/Slave roles. Keep in mind, I’m white. She’s black. She’s not enrolle

d in this class AT ALL.

So the professer sees this, and says “Yes, you there, girl I’ve never seen in 4 months of this class”

And all she said was “Master and Slave drives? That sounds sexy!”

The whole class facepalmed.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
