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

Respect isn't earned. You receive the amount of respect you give. (self.showerthoughts)

Every time you interact with someone you should give them a base level of respect. How they respond determines the amount of respect you continue to proceed with.

Ask me how I know you've never worked a service job.

I've been working in food service for almost 14 years. I don't know what you're on about.

Because all the respect in the world will still see people treating you like shit on a regular basis.
