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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  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.

You could probably get electrical energy that is needed to run a gym (lights, accountant pc, vending machine) if you just install generators in all of this gym's exercise equipment (self.showerthoughts)

You also need a big enough battery to get through slow hours.

So you can get the Zero-emissions Off-the-grid gym!

I’ve considered instead of energy generation which is pretty hard for human biomechanics to do, we could have a gym where you build stuff. Like today’s workout is you have to build a wall.

Carry a bunch of wood around (squat, deadlift, carries ). Do some sawing (row, push up). Lift wood overhead (press).

And at the end of the workout you’ve got a wall!

My first factory job was a workout. I spent all day taking bundles of ice cream products off a conveyor and placing them on skids. I liked that aspect of the job, or any job that involves physical activity.

The first week was brutal with muscle pain, but then my body got used to it.

I do white collar work now but kinda wish I could do that kind of work like one day a week or something.
