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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days. (self.showerthoughts)

Why would you ever do that? And allow it to happen for 17 years???

Good question. I did enjoy my work 90% of the time. I gave up emergency work when I turned 50. Now I do "uber" ambulance.

Wtf is uber ambulance?

And thanks for your service.

Ha! "Uber" ambulance is non-emergency transport. We take patients that are at rehabilitation facilities and bring them to medical appointments.
