Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I 100% assume that the McDonald's employee who called on him is fake in some way, and they tracked him down through some kind of spy apparatus shit and just don't want to give away their methods.

I have no evidence and I don't really know how these things work, it just seems way way more plausible to me.

Ok, I'll accept this conspiracy theory and add to it:

It was actually the surveillance software in the AI drive through.

he was inside the mcdonald's though he didn't use the drive thru

i agree that it's all parallel construction from some illegal surveillance though

That's what they WANT you to think.
