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

Saying you feel like a million bucks is like 'meh' in today's economy. (lemm.ee)

In my area the first 500k would buy you at least 150 acres, the 100k would buy a tractor to clear out enough woods for a house, put in a well, run power lines and septic. 200k would buy you the materials for any house you could imagine. 8 bedrooms 8 baths? Sure. A duplex with a workshop? Hell yeah. One ground floor and 3 sub-basement levels? Now we're talking.

The last 300k would buy you a business in the local town for some income.
