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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- 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.

So he's altruistic enough to give it to you for free, but once it's worth something he'd fuck you over for it?
So is he intending to give it to you or not?
Now it just sounds like you couldn't figure out altruism between the both of you and you are blaming the government for taxes.
This shouldn't be news, but you all need taxes.
Man, what kind of moron builds a 200k house on someone else's 75k of land? Are you stupid or just argumentative? I don't care how good of friends you are, I don't want that kind of power disparity where they could casually wreck your whole life situation in any friendship.things change between people over time. If you don't understand that, then you are probably still a child who doesn't understand why people get divorced.
still sounds like you don't understand altruism and apparently also contractual land use and estates.
shrug Eat a dick. This conversation has gone from something that could be worthwhile to basically talking to a wall. I've got better things to do than this. Like watch paint dry or watching my cat sleep.
