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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

And all he dreams about is working 40 hours a week running powerlines.
I'm realizing now there is something really wrong with everyone ITT. It's like the only thing you imagine for yourself is having some sort of job.
Don't get me wrong. Work is good. Skills are good. Except no one should be fantasizing about back breaking labor until the day they die.
well it doesn't need to be back breaking I like networking and having an accomplished, finished task or job.
but the title was literally "job", and you set a challenge saying it's for someone who doesn't want to, of course you're going to 1000 examples why you're incorrect, it's nothing personal.
It's not incorrect everyone is just playing semantics.
You might like aspects of your job but explain to me why you wouldn't do it for free.
Because rent.
