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.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Going to a tropical island isn't extravagant, it's just expensive. Extravagant is spending a lot of money on something that isn't worth it, like Disney World.

2 weeks on Bali for 2 cost grand total $3,400, including everything. And we were splurging. That's far less than 2 weeks at Disneyland. That is absolutely ridiculous to me.

And I assume you stayed at a nice hotel. There's absolutely cheaper tropical destinations and alternatives to nice hotels if you just want the tropical beach life. We spent far less than 3k during 1 month in Thailand.

Absolutely. Just wonderful little inns with gorgeous views. Locally owned places of course.
