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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

At least? You thought a day pass to Disney World was at least $2,500 and maybe $25,000?
Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family.. why not? Rich families were always spending "insane" amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars..
$2,500 for a day trip? ..sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn't it cost that much?
When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.
It's not 2.5k for the day trip, it's just the ticket. And from what I heard, the actual expense will easily triple once you start spending for basic things inside like food and hotel.
No ticket costs $2500.
Ofc it doesn't, I am taking about them thinking it's 2.5k for the day trip when we were talking about the ticket. Ig my wording could be better but I am not a native speaker.
