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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

If I take a week off of work in America I will lose everything I own and be homeless and die....
Isn't that what freedom is all about? The choice of either slaving away or starving?
Tell that to my immune system.
I do? So I can quit my shitty soul crushing job and everything will just be fine then?
Yes, because there are definitely more options than waste your years trapped in wage slavery. ๐
To give OP a boon, my friend's mother had a plaque with a saying along the lines of "I was born against my will and I will die against my will. So please let me at least live like I want to."
I think that's a good philosophy to approach your own life and the people you encounter.
I'm going to live like a billionaire... I am going to live like a billionaire.
Mate, you have so very little actual free-will. There's still a debate if you even have free-will at all. If it's even a thing or just a concept we came up with.
Well, at least scientists have identified the hormone that is responsible for the "this was totally my own idea" feeling.
Link? That sounds really cool.
Can't find it right now. If I recall correctly they could measure the "decision" happening before the action was performed.
Or maybe those are two separate studies.
Sure you do buddy.
Euthanasia is totally legal and not shunned upon everywhere in the world.
Ehmm.... No you don't
Hmm. I don't know about that. Maybe certain very rich people have more freedom regarding the way they can live. I just have to do 9-5, no questions asked.
And therefore have the right to end it whenever I feel like doing so.
I mean there are lots of deadly poisonous plants, but legally killing yourself is hard as fuck.
This is me trying to explain the difference between "fault" and "responsibility"
