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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

My dream of running away (self.showerthoughts)

I figure I'll make a post about this as an extension of my usual mental release, HAH! My wife is going on a four day vacation so I'm dreaming of escaping, but unfortunately, this is about as far as I can afford to go.

Anyway, the dream is two fold, If I realize I can't make it, then the blue area is all I am able to afford (when my allowance permits), but if I am capable of making enough for the return trip, then the red is my most desired route (AKA, where I can grow ferns outside, and where I had the most fun during the last times I was capable of traveling. I still, very vividly, see the Adiantum pedatum growing wild along a trail in Pershing State Park in Missouri in 2016).

Unfortunately, my home life is not the greatest for learning new tricks, and my skills are extremly lacking in anything non-physical related. Plus my chronic pains, I just don't know what this old damn body can do, so i dream every once in a while, HAH! It's like window shopping, except with ferns, HAHA!

Teotl, I miss traveling. Pppp! But that job was my last possible effort, and I let the stress and my wife's anger to make me drop it. Eh, I had a lot of fun on those trails. Pershing State Park, MO, Bobwhite State Park, IA, Weldon Springs State Park, IL, and Copper Breaks State Park, TX...Oh hell, Copper Breaks, almost passed out from low blood sugar because once I started finding Pellaea atropurpurea growing along a trail, I went absolutely crazy with sheer joy, HAH! There were so many. It was beautiful.

Ok, I'm done. I need to stop dreaming now, HAH!

I feel like airports might not like it considering it would be the one of the first things tourists see but I feel like it be effective against snowbird boomers with extended layovers who are upset the airport lounge chairs aren't positioned next to electrical outlets.

Thought that if we are so easily bored in our modern society, much more than were our grandparents for example, it's because of technology that simplify all our daily activities. When it was necessary to do the laundry in a basin, it took a lot more time than just pushing on a button to launch the washing machine, then there was no time for boredom. What do you think?

Makes me feel a bit better about my general political anxiousness.

Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

The number of political videos I see on [email protected] is growing. And most of them get downvoted there anyway.

Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

Amazon is running a Prime Day sale on July 16 and 17. Setting aside the fact that this is two separate days, neither 716 nor 717 are prime numbers. They should've done 7/19 instead.

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Looking on a relief map, the Iranian plateau and the Himalayas look oddly similar
