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

The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account (self.showerthoughts)

I'd say it's more linked to how many dependents you have, rather than money in the bank.

Someone with no kids, no ~~wife~~ spouse (edit), and no pets can be spontaneous without a second thought.

Someone who's tied down, but wealthy, not so much.
