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 am actually amazed that you can get gas and cigarettes delivered.

I figured cigarettes were considered a controlled substance. I guess tow truck drivers sort of deliver gas. Is there another service that does?

On your main question, yes. I still go to the store for groceries and gas. I guess I am the anomaly on that but I got sick of bad veggies, crushed bread and missed items from the delivery service.

Where I live you can't get neither petrol nor cigarettes delivered. Although I hadn't considered a tow truck as gas delivery before that is a good one.

We live in a society where men can abandon their families every day and nobody bats an eye; it's all part of the plan. But let one woman do the same and everybody looses their minds.
