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

Why don't planes have a switch beside the call button that you can choose between "wake me up for meal service" or "leave me alone?" (lemmy.ml)

One time I flew with Emirates and they had a little pack on your seat that had stickers to put on the seatback in front - red that said let me sleep and green said wake me for a meal. Flew with them since and haven't seen it again but I thought it was a great idea!

I always used to fly Emirates until they stopped cleaning their planes and every journey involved a long layover in a busy and grotty Dubai airport.
