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.

Hey, poor people could probably invest mere pennies in bird flu infected and/or plain rotten eggs to egg the rich...

The new Beavis and Butthead had a segment where they borrowed eggs and tp from a rich family to throw at their house.

...and given the cost of housing, only rich kids get egged.

Egg prices are only spiking in one country. The rest of us have stable egg prices.

And the really rich kids get to use ostrich eggs.

Also they probably still have lots of toilet paper left over from the covid days. (Is that still a thing on the US? I only know of it from movies)

Hoarding toilet paper, hand sanitizer etc was a brief phenomenon in the US.

I meant using toilet paper on houses. Sorry, it was poorly worded.
