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

Not related but man it is so nice to visit places where honking is rare. I am in PV Mexico alot and honking is rare even though driving is quite random and rules are only optional. Driving is actually fairly stress free as it is rare to see anyone angry.

Then you drive in Panama city, Panama. Still no one is angry but honking is continues. Don't turn on a blinker to lane change. Just honk and do it. Regardless of there is a space for you.
